We would like to extend one more HUGE thank you to everyone that came out to support the 58th Annual Harper
Frontier Days Celebration. The event was a great success and with the proceeds the Harper Community Park was able to
pay-off the note on our Beautiful Hall! We are so excited to have it paid off and are looking forward to being able to focus
on working together with the Hill Country Horse Club to finish the Arena project now.
The annual Harper Community Park Association membership meeting will be held February 26, 2023 at 1:00 pm in the Harper Community Hall. You will be able to pay your membership fee of $35.00 at the door if you haven’t done so prior to the meeting.
We have had several weddings and events in the Hall this year and are looking forward to hosting many more. If you or someone you know has a wedding or event coming up, make sure to reserve your dates before our calendar fills up. The HCPA Board is currently setting dates for fundraising events this year so please make sure to check out our website at www.harpercommunitypark.com, and follow us on Facebook for upcoming events.
We would like to thank all of the generous SPONSORS and
AMAZING community and park members that contributed to
the 58th Annual Harper Frontier Day’s celebration - held on
September 23rd & 24th. We were so excited to bring back
the parade this year, as well as Little Mr. & Miss Harper and
the Harper Rodeo Queen! We hope everyone enjoyed the
weekend and had the chance to make it out and check out
the progress that has been made on the new arena! Make
sure to look for park & arena updates, as well as upcoming
events and information on our recently renovated website–
www.harpercommunitypark.org and Facebook.
We would also like to extend a huge thank you to the volun-
teers from the American Legion, Harper FFA and commu-
nity members for cleaning up the park in preparation for the
58th Annual Frontier Day’s celebration. With the energized
groups, we were able to mow & weed eat the entire park,
clean the pavilion, the BBQ shack, paint and so much more!
Thanks again to all of you for your hard work, the park looks
wonderful.
Don’t forget the holiday season is just around the corner, so
if you are in need of a venue for your large family gathering,
company retreat or more, please consider the facilities at
the Harper Community Park. Make sure to check out the

On September 10th & 17th, 2022, the HCPA had park clean-up days in preparation for Frontier Days Events. We cannot thank the awesome group of Harper FFA kids and their dedicated FFA sponsors enough for all of the hard work they put in! A huge thank you is also due to the American Legion and community members who came out to help too. Together these 2 organizations and the community members have the park looking pretty dang good! If you haven’t driven through lately make sure to check out their work and take a look at the arena progress. There have been countless volunteer hours put into the arena the past couple months and it’s looking great!
