🌿 Supporting Eldred’s Nursery Foundation — Supporting Our Community

Some organizations quietly make a meaningful difference in our community every day, and Eldred’s Nursery Foundation is one of them.

This local 501(c)(3) nonprofit, serving the local community, helps adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities build meaningful, productive lives. Through its programs, Eldred’s provides opportunities to learn, grow, contribute, and experience the pride and independence that come from being an important part of the community.

Their mission deserves our support. ❤️

This year, Eldred’s Nursery Foundation is hosting its 5th Annual Spring into Fall Fundraiser—the organization’s main fundraising event of the year!

🌿 Saturday, August 29, 2026
⏰ 6:00–9:00 PM
📍 The Farmhouse
3205 Airport Trail, Temple, Texas

You can support Eldred’s by purchasing a ticket and attending the event. If you’re unable to join us, you can still make a donation. Every contribution helps Eldred’s continue its important work supporting individuals and families in our community.

Our community is strongest when we show up for organizations that show up for others. We hope our Discover Downtown Belton friends will join us in supporting Eldred’s Nursery Foundation and help make this year’s fundraiser a wonderful success!

🇺🇸 There’s something truly special about a small-town Fourth of July parade.

Many consider Belton’s Fourth of July Parade to be one of the finest small-town Independence Day parades in Central Texas. Our historic downtown provides the perfect backdrop as neighbors gather, generations make memories, and our community comes together to celebrate the freedoms we cherish.

It’s more than flags, floats, classic cars, marching bands, and children waving from the curb. It’s a reminder of who we are as a community and as a nation. It’s a celebration of patriotism, unity, and the values that have carried our country forward for generations.

This year feels especially meaningful as we celebrate 250 years of American independence. For two and a half centuries, countless men and women have sacrificed to protect the liberties we sometimes take for granted. Today, we honor their courage, their service, and the enduring spirit of our nation.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Belton’s Fourth of July Parade and to those who lined the streets to cheer them on. Your smiles, laughter, and patriotic spirit made it a day to remember.

May God continue to bless our community, the great state of Texas, and the United States of America.

Happy Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙
