Laughter, good food, and a whole lot of tug-of-war spirit filled the air yesterday evening as Cuero residents gathered for the annual Meet & Greet — a celebration of community partnerships, public service, and hometown pride.
The event, hosted with support from Cuero Fire Department, brought together local organizations, law enforcement, and families for an evening of connection and fun. From setup to teardown, Cuero Fire Department went above and beyond — and yes, they took home the tug-of-war win this year 
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all who made the evening possible:
- HEB, The Texan, Norma’s House Child Advocacy Center, TDCJ – Stevenson Unit Staff, DJ Tony, Ortega’s Rainbow Sno, Cuero ISD, Bush’s Chicken, and the Civilian Police Academy Alumni, who served up some truly unforgettable food.
- Special thanks to Yoakum Police Department, Texas Parks & Wildlife, and PHI Air Medical Victoria for showcasing their equipment and engaging with attendees.
The event wasn’t just about fun — it was a reminder of the strength and generosity that define Cuero. From child advocacy to public safety, every organization present plays a role in keeping our community resilient and connected.
As the sun set and the last snow cone was slurped, one thing was clear: Cuero shows up for each other. And we’ll be ready to do it all again next year — volunteers and all.
