High-Flying Fun: Seguin to host 5th Annual Community Kite Festival

Historic journey stopping in Seguin this Sunday

(Seguin) – Free family fun will take flight this Saturday during the 5th Annual Community Kite Festival at Manuel C. Castilla Park.

(Seguin) -- The Zonta Club of Seguin is helping bring a piece of women’s history to the community as it partners with other groups for the Driving the Vote for Equality Tour.

The annual event is a partnership between the Seguin ISD and the city of Seguin.

(Seguin) -- The Zonta Club of Seguin is helping bring a piece of women’s history to the community as it partners with other groups for the Driving the Vote for Equality Tour.

As part of the national tour, the “Golden Flyer II” — a refurbished 1914 Saxon roadster — is scheduled to arrive in Seguin this Sunday, March 22. The vehicle recreates the historic journey of two suffragists who, in 1916, traveled more than 10,000 miles across a largely roadless America to rally support for women’s right to vote.

Allison Seidenberger, the director of the Seguin ISD ACE Program, says one of the featured highlights this year will be special demonstrations by kite groups.

“We do have two out of area visiting kite demonstration groups. One is called Coastal Bend Flying Circus and the Surfside Flyers, and the other is about kites. So, weather permitting and with a little bit of wind, they’ll get up into the air. They’re very large and oversized kites that are awesome to see as well,” said Seidenberger.

In addition to the professional demonstrations, she says families will be encouraged to fly their own kites throughout the park.

Local organizers, including the Zonta Club of Seguin, have partnered with other groups to bring the event to the community, emphasizing its historical and educational value.

“Families are welcome to bring their own kites and fly them in the spaces that we have marked off. But we also, while supplies last, provide free kites from our donation that the City of Seguin staff pre-assembled. So, they’re ready to go and ready to fly as families arrive,” said Seidenberger.

Zonta Club of Seguin President Susan Monahan says the organization has worked to ensure the focus remains on learning and honoring history as the tour makes its way through Seguin.

Beyond the kite flying, Seidenberger says there will be plenty of food, activities, and resource booths to bring the community together.

“Seguin is so fortunate to have been included in this historic event as a stop on the tour. The caravan will be arriving in Seguin on Sunday morning. They’ll be spending the night in Seguin and before they take off for Austin to continue the journey, Mayor Donna (Dodgen) will do a proclamation for Women’s History

“We are able to provide a free hot dog lunch to everyone who comes. Then, we have all of the different booths and groups and organizations that are there to visit with us. This year, we’re excited. At 11 a.m., we’ll have a free yoga session. At 10:30 a.m., the Vogel Elementary Choir Group will perform. And we have, of course, the fire department and the police department, Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office, and again, all of the businesses and organizations within our community there to provide information and support. We’re

excited to bring back some of our Seguin High School students. We’ll be helping with face painting and hair tinsel. That is always popular. And I have been collecting door prizes, and we have quite a few already available, so there’s going to be lots of opportunities for people to come out and have a good time,” said Seidenberger.

Month on the City Hall steps on Monday at 8 a.m. on Gonzales St. Here in Seguin, we have worked hard to keep the focus on history and education. Zonta has not wanted to lead with anything that could be perceived as ‘political,” said Monahan. Journey, pg. 3

The free Community Kite Festival will be held this Saturday, March 28, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Manuel Castilla Park located at 2402 N. Guadalupe St. Blankets and lawn chairs are encouraged.

Grab your baskets, Seguin’s 4th Annual Eggapalooza set for this Saturday

(Seguin) – Easter fun returns this weekend at Bulldog Stadium. Families from across the community are invited to the 4th Annual Eggapalooza All Abilities Egg Hunt this Saturday at Texas Lutheran University’s Bulldog Stadium.

Hosted by Emanuel’s Lutheran Church in partnership with Texas Lutheran University, the free event is designed for children of all abilities, ages 2 to 12, and will feature tens of thousands of eggs, games, and activities.

Pastor Marcus Bigott of Emanuel’s Lutheran Church says what started off as an idea has now become an annual tradition.

“This started four years ago, and blessedly enough, it started in the backyard at a birthday party between me and a gentleman named Bryce Kennedy, a member of our congregation here, wanting to do something big for our community. We didn’t know of an egg hunt that brought everybody together, and we reached out to partners like Texas Lutheran University and said, hey, we have this idea for this big egg hunt. You have a beautiful field that’s accessible by everybody. You’ve got wonderful sidewalks and beautiful astroturf. Can we make this happen? And Dr. (Debbie) Cottrell and Coach Miller, and other folks who are like Susan Rinn and others that are there said, yes, absolutely, let’s make this happen. So, thanks be to God and to them, including Wes Cain, Campus Pastor, we partnered through campus ministry to make this happen,” said Bigott.

Now in its fourth year, Eggapalooza has grown into one of the largest egg hunts featuring more than 40,000 eggs spread across the various age groups.

Bigott says what makes the event even more special is that it is carefully organized to ensure every child has “a fun and accessible experience.”

“We welcome every single family, every single kid, from little bitties, from three years old and under, all the way up to 10 years old and over. We have used the entirety of the football field. Every age group is broken down with a wristband and a color that coordinates to a flag. And each group then hunts independently in the same area. So there’s about 8,000 eggs per group of kids, which is wonderful. We have 5 full groups. Folks will come on Fleming Drive, right by TLU’s Bulldog Stadium. They can walk down the side -- the gravel pathway that’s there. If they need assistive devices or wheelchairs or other walking things, we’ve got volunteers that will open the road alongside TLU’s Police Department to make sure they can drive right up to that main entrance, right behind the grandstands. They’ll get their wristbands from our volunteers. if they need an Easter basket -- Walmart’s donated Easter baskets so they can pick up one of those. There’s going to be Kona Ice for free as well,” said Bigott.

In addition to the egg hunts, Bigot says families are encouraged to get to the stadium early for a fun filled

morning.

“Then at 8:30 a.m., the gates open and folks are invited to come on in. We will have donuts for folks if they would like a donut. There’s water out there. And then, we have 17 booths. Everybody from our own Compass Cooperative Ministry, to scouting here at Emanuel’s, to incredible community partners that will have games and activities and prizes and face painting and all sorts of stuff for folks to do and to be a part of the day. And then at 9:15, the greetings of our MC, Mr. Brandon Kennedy, will start and we’ll have just welcomes from Mayor Dodgen and some of our big sponsors, Texas Coastline Roofing and Remodeling. And then 9:30, that’s the key time, 9:30 is when the first egg drop happens. So, our youngest, from three years old and down, they start at 9:30. But everything is completely free. Everything that folks will do there is completely free. Our hope is just for community to be celebrated, for diversity to be celebrated. And we would love to have everybody come,” said Bigott.

Due to the large scale of the event, Bigott says parents should take note that the egg hunts will run on a rolling schedule immediately after the first group begins.

“It is a rolling start. So, there’s no set time for those for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th groups, because we don’t know how fast some of those egg hunts will go -- sometimes they go in 5 to 10 minutes, sometimes it’s a little bit longer than that. So, we just set the time for the first one at 9:30 a.m. and then everything else just rolls right after that. So, we want folks to come early if they can. If not -- just be there by 9:30 for sure,” said Bigott.

The 4th Annual Eggapalooza All Abilities Egg Hunt will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 28, at TLU Bulldog Stadium. Admission is free, and families are encouraged to arrive early to check in at the main Fleming Street entrance.

Helping others together: TLU Bulldogs join forces to give back

(Seguin) -- The sun was just rising when a group of some hundred TLU students gathered on the library lawn to grab a quick bite before heading out to spend their Saturday offering their time and energy to the local community. Seguin Mayor Donna Dodgen was on hand to welcome them and give them an encouraging sendoff before they left campus to take on service projects all over town—everything from planting, harvesting, and weeding at Emanuel’s Lutheran Church’s Garden of Eatin’ to repairing bikes at Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church’s Community Cycles bike shop.

Journey, continued.

The occasion: H.O.T. Dogs Day, a TLU tradition held once a semester and led by the Jon and Sandra Moline Center for Servant Leadership. H.O.T. stands for Helping Others Together, and the event offers students, faculty, and staff the chance to do just that, by serving Seguin and its neighboring communities.

Community members will have multiple opportunities to see the Golden Flyer II and participate in related events throughout the day. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sunday, the public is invited to welcome the vehicle on Camp Street, where a book signing will also be held at Pecantown Books & Brews. Author Jeryl Schreiver will be on hand to discuss her book “Driving the Vote for Women.” She will share about the original journey

Meanwhile, a group of Austin-area alums also gathered to keep the tradition alive in their own community, spending their time sorting food at the Central Texas Food Bank, helping provide approximately 4,500 meals

to those in need across the Austin community.

“H.O.T. Dogs Day 2026 under this year’s theme of A Berry Sweet Day of Service is another powerful reminder that when we come together to serve, we create lasting change,” said Dr. Pamela Ray, director of Service Learning and the Center for Servant Leadership at TLU. “For the TLU history books once again, H.O.T. Dogs Day proves that service isn’t just an event, it’s a tradition of excellence.”

Organizers say the tour “not only commemorates the determination of early advocates for women’s voting rights but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing importance of civic engagement and education.”

Survey Reveals Diet And Exercise Helps Many With Sleep

(Darien, Ill) -- Two popular New Years resolutions involving diet and exercise help many with better sleep. That’s according to an American Academy of Sleep Medicine survey this year of over two thousand U.S. adults. The survey shows 59 percent of respondents say a wellbalanced diet helps them sleep better. Also, 42 percent report better sleep after morning workouts while 46 percent see improvements from evening exercise.

ADHD Meds May Work Differently Than Thought

(Undated) -- Prescription stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall seem to work on the brain differently than previously thought. That’s according to a new study that finds that the ADHD medications makes people more alert and interested in tasks, rather than improving their overall focus. The drugs activate the parts of the brain that make a task a child otherwise struggles with more rewarding. Researchers also found that stimulants mimicked the effect of good sleep, canceling out the effects of sleep deprivation. The study was published in the journal Cell.

2nd Legionnaires Death At NJ Hospital

(Paterson, NJ) -- There’s been a second Legionnaires death at a New Jersey hospital already under investigation by the state Health Department. The patient was being treated at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Paterson. The hospital says both patients had significant underlying health conditions. The first patient’s death prompted a probe into the hospital’s water system last month which turned up legionella bacteria. Water tanks and water lines are being cleaned and treated. Meantime, the hospital has notified more than 220 former patients about the potential risk for infection.

Strategies For Preventing Destination Constipation

(New York, NY) -- So-called “Destination Constipation” is a common problem for travelers. But Samantha Cassetty, a well-known registered dietician in New York City, says there are strategies you can use to avoid getting backed up. She notes that planes are dehydrating, so she recommends drinking a lot of water. She also suggests upping your fiber intake which includes whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies.

As part of the process, property owners with an active homestead exemption may receive a notice asking them to reapply for the exemption every five years to verify eligibility. The appraisal district does not calculate taxes based on exemptions. Any tax adjustments will be handled by the Guadalupe County Tax Assessor-Collector’s Office and reflected either in amended bills for previous years or on the current year’s tax bill issued in October. Property owners who receive a notice should follow the instructions provided by the Guadalupe Appraisal District.
