Hello, readers,

Welcome to the first Monday newsletter. I hope you’ll share my sentiment that a newsletter with local news updates from the past week and a list of upcoming local events will be more valuable delivered on Mondays rather than Fridays.

If you don’t share that sentiment, let me know. Feel free to comment on this post or email me at theburlesonbuzz@gmail.com.

BTX-Mas a success (in my humble opinion)

The BTX-Mas drone show Saturday in Burleson. Cody O’Brien.

While the fireworks show was replaced by what I assume is a safer drone show, Burleson’s annual Christmas gathering Saturday was as magical as ever.

I don’t think I’ve ever been part of a group of that many people outside of a professional sporting event. It still somehow felt like a small-town get-together though.
