Award of Excellence – Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers (TAMIO)

PRODUCER, WRITER, DIRECTOR & EDITOR

This video was a virtual ribbon cutting of our newest extension of our trail system, the Brushy Creek Regional Trail. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, all in-person events were converted to online virtual events, including project groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings. So we decided to make a fun parody video to the Beauty and the Beast song “Be Our Guest”. It was a very popular video and well received by the public!
