2nd Annual T.O.P.S. Fishing Competition
The 2nd Annual Texas Oklahoma Patriot Shootout (TOPS) Bass Fishing Competition launches the morning of June 8, 2013 from Westlake Park on Lewisville Lake. A part of SummerFest, the competition is for our military service members, veterans, and their families – all whom have given and endured so much for us so that we can live the way we choose.
Military warriors and veterans from Texas and Oklahoma will compete to win their state’s 2013 Lewisville Lake Bass fishing bragging rights. For the competition Oklahoma and Texas soldiers will be paired with top Triton Boat pros including Gary Klein, Jeff Kriet, Byron Velvick, Scott Dean, Cheryl Bowden, Judith Hart, Dave Parsons, Rick Loomis and many others fishing the pro circuit trails. While the soldiers are fishing, their families will enjoy fun activities at the park and throughout the day at SummerFest.
Event sponsors, Networking Warriors of America, Operation Once in a Lifetime, the US Army Corps of Engineers, Our Lands & Waters Foundation, and the Town of Hickory Creek, invite everyone to join the launch event at 6:30 am and then enjoy SummerFest activities along with the TOPS weigh-in and awards celebration at 1:30 pm. Fishing pros will be available after the weigh-in for photos and autographs.

INTERSECTION CLOSED
This morning, construction began on the Ronald Reagan/Turbeville intersection. Unfortunately, this will involve closing that intersection, with limited access to residents. This will be an inconvenience that will last approximately 14 days. Flagmen will be on hand to direct traffic, but you may have to wait to be able to turn on to Ronald Reagan. Turbeville will be closed to thru traffic between Point Vista and Turbeville while the eastern half of the intersection is completed; allowing Turbeville between Ronald Reagan and Parkridge to remain open. When the eastern half of the intersection is complete, the western half will be closed as well as Turbeville between Ronald Reagan and Harbor Lane. Turbeville between Point Vista and Ronald Reagan will then be open to traffic, with flagmen available to help the flow of traffic. We trust that our residents, while finding the closure quite the inconvenience, will enjoy the benefits of the new intersection when complete. For further information or comments, please call town hall at 940-497-2528 or email the Director of Public Works, Jeffrey McSpedden at jeffrey.mcspedden@hickorycreek-tx.gov.
