Going Green is nothing new for residents of Cypress Creek. In fact, they were recycling all the way back to the 1800’s. Just a short drive from Cypress Creek Lakes on Old Hempstead Highway, visitors are welcome every Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to tour the little blue “recycled house “previously owned by the Juergen family of Cypress.
As evidence by the records the family kept and the many stories that have been told throughout the decades, the Juergen’s were a “waste not” family who rarely saw a reason to throw anything away. Clothes and shoes were recycled among family members and when a building was no longer needed for its original purpose, it was converted and reused for the next use.
Lone Star College-CyFair will be hosting a unique, cultural display of music dance and art at their annual “World Music Festival” on March.
This choral spring event celebrates the cultural diversities in the Cy-Fair community with an entertaining evening of theatrical performances, dancing and art exhibits.
Northwest Houston's 32nd Annual St. Patrick's Day parade is scheduled for Sunday, March 14 at 2 p.m., so Cypress Creek Lakes residents should be sure to grab their green and head out for this joyous, charitable, once-a-year opportunity!
Over 70,000 people attended last year to witness over 100 floats traveling along FM 1960. The Parade committee is expecting even more to travel from across Houston for this event. All proceeds will benefit Cypress Creek EMS, the volunteer-based ambulance service that responds to calls within a 250 sq. mile area of the Montgomery County line on the north, the Sam Houston Tollway on the south, Humble on the east, and Jone Rd. on the west. This EMS responds to approximately 30,000 calls in a year.
All Cypress Creek Lakes residents as well as any out-of-staters considering a move to Texas should feel confident in sending their children to Cy-Fair I.S.D., as the national organization *Achieve* selected Texas as the only state to meet all the American Diploma Project's five key college and career readiness measures.
Texas is one of 35 member states of the America Diploma Project Network, in which *Achieve*, created by the nation's governors and business leaders, helps raise education standards and conducts annual surveys on college and career readiness.
The show will feature a variety of industry expert vendors and speakers, including landscapers, authors, green building specialists, radio hosts, and certified professional organizers.
This 2010 show will feature new products, new ideas, and new trends! The show is an excellent kickoff to the Spring season, as those seeking ideas for Spring cleaning or looking for bids on a backyard renovation will be nearly overwhelmed with the available information at the show!
