Motorists and residents traveling through downtown Weatherford have likely seen the recent flurry of activity at the Parker County Courthouse.
Parker County’s Building and Grounds crew has been busy doing an annual spring cleaning.
“April is County Government Month and one of the events we have planned is tours of this magnificent building,” Parker County Judge Mark Riley said. “We have planned this for April 27, to coincide with the Weatherford Blooms Festival that will occupy the four courthouse parking lots.”
Tours will start promptly at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. In addition special group tours of 10 or more people can be arranged by calling Joel Kertok at the County Judge’s Office, (817)598-6166.
