City of Katy to Host Katy Summer Tailgate

City of Katy to Host Katy Summer Tailgate

Returning from a great success last year, the City of Katy will host the “Katy Summer Tailgate with a Taste of Katy”. The event is part of Operation Backpack, an 11-year-old Houston-wide YMCA initiative.

The event will take place on August 13, 2016 from 6-10 p.m. in Historic Katy, near city hall. Attendees must either bring a backpack, school supply or make a monetary donation to the cause as an entry fee.

Activities include a Fun Zone for the kids, vendor booths, a Row of Restaurants with plenty to satisfy any craving, and a street dance with live music.

All donations, both school supplies and monetary, will benefit the YMCA’s Operation Backpack program. This program helps to ensure that many of our local Katy Kids start school with all of the essentials to kick off a successful school year.

Support Christian Journalism

Freedom ​is Not Free! Free Speech is essential to a functioning Republic. The assault on honest, Christian Journalism and Media has taken a devastating toll over the last two years. Many Christian media outlets have not survived.

It is through your Generosity and Support that we are able to promote Free Speech and Safeguard our Freedoms and Liberties throughout our Communities and the Nation. Without your donations, we cannot continue to publish articles written through a Biblical worldview.

Please consider donating or subscribing today. A donation of any size makes a Big Difference. Thank you for your Support!

As the President and Publisher of Katy and Fort Bend Christian Magazines, Joe Menslage is committed to covering social and political news from a Christian worldview. He founded Katy Christian Magazine in 2005, which swept the greater Houston and Katy areas like a storm. That’s when Joe realized the urgent need for publications willing to give voices to the voiceless, without political correctness or censorship. Joe Menslage founded sister-publication Fort Bend Christian Magazine in 2014. Prior to creating Katy Christian Magazine, Joe Menslage led a colorful life. He was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, spent a great deal of his childhood in Colorado, and lived in a couple of other states before he moved to Houston in 1981. Joe was God-gifted with an entrepreneurial mind, and self-started other business ventures before he found his calling. In Joe’s words, our innate talents are given by the Lord, and are meant to be used to serve the Lord. Aside from being a President and Publisher, Joe Menslage is also the co-founder of Katy Christian Chamber of Commerce, where Christians can network, build business connections, listen to passionate speakers, and enjoy monthly breakfasts and lunches.
