Thousands of Bastrop County residents, spectators and well wishers packed the entire 2023 Lost Pines Lighted Christmas Parade route this past Saturday evening. Bastrop County Republicans, supporters, elected officials and candidates rode the BCRP float festooned with lights, garland, flags, banners, a Christmas Tree and snowman, and eager to share the Christmas Joy and Holiday spirit. It was loads of fun for participants and spectators alike. The Bastrop County Republican Party wishes all Bastrop County residents a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Joyous Holiday Season.
Bastrop County Chair Curtis Courtney and wife Cheryl, were present at the Texas Governors Mansion Friday December 1st 2023, along with Republicans from across the state. The event, offered by the Texas Republican County Chairmen’s Association, allowed for touring the building, gardens and grounds, learning the history of Texas’ most historical building, and a photo opportunity with Governor Abbott.
Your fully loaded Bastrop County Republican Party’s floats were very well received at both the Smithville and Elgin “Lighted Christmas” parades last night. Spectators along the parade routes cheered the well decorated and overflowing BCRP floats with thumbs up and holiday spirit. BCRP wishes everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season!
BCRP Executive Committee, Supporters, Elected Officials and Candidates for the 2024 Primary Election gathered this week at the First National Banks 2nd floor Community Room for fellowship, fun conversation and shared appreciation of support and participation throughout the year.
