La Feria NFL Flag Football

The City of La Feria is proud to offer NFL Flag Football to our local community as well as the surrounding communities for boys and girls ages 5-17.  NFL Flag Football provides non-contact continuous action, while requiring minimal equipment.  Players learn the skills of the sport and experience the fun of football!

In its eighth year, NFL Flag Football has become the fastest growing sport in La Feria.  NFL Flag Football has also attracted players from the surrounding communities, as La Feria is one of a few cities to offer an NFL Flag Football program in the Rio Grande Valley.  Participation has steadily increased with over 200 registered players per season.  So get excited and play NFL Flag Football!

Registration for the 2010 season will kick off Saturday, July 24, 2010 and run every Saturday through August 7, 2010 at the Bailey H. Dunlap Memorial Public Library.  Late registration will be held August 16 through the 18th at City Hall, 115 E. Commercial Avenue, La Feria.

Tourism Rally Day

The City of La Feria participated in the Texas Travel and Tourism Week celebration and set up a booth during the May 14, 2010 event at the Texas Travel Information Center in Harlingen.  Travel and Tourism week, May 8-16, shines a spotlight on the economic and employment impact created in South Texas from spending by leisure and business travelers.  The jobs of local hospitality workforce – and millions of dollars in local/state tax base – are supported by the vital economic activity generated by travel and tourism.  Other entities in the Valley participated as well to make this a very successful event.  See pictures.

Arbor Day

Arbor Day 2010

On Tuesday, April 27, 2010, the City Commission of La Feria passed a Proclamation declaring May 8, 2010 as Arbor Day in La Feria.  As part of proclaiming Arbor Day in La Feria, the City is offering an opportunity to residents of La Feria and surrounding areas to honor members of their families by planting trees at the La Feria Nature Center and Veterans Memorial Sports Complex on May 8.  This is a tremendous opportunity to teach fundamental lessons about stewardship of our natural resources and caring for our environment. There is no more powerful demonstration than helping children plant and care for trees that their own children and grandchildren will enjoy in the future.

The fee is $35 per tree, which includes a permanent marker at the base of the plant honoring your loved one.  All orders are due by April 30, 2010.  Order Forms may be picked up at La Feria City Hall, Monday thru Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. thru 4:30 p.m. or download a copy here. Complete the form and return to City Hall with payment.  If after hours, you may attach a check and place in the water bill drop box.  Should you have any questions, you may contact Ben Guerrero at La Feria City Hall (956) 797-2261.
