New Chamber Executive Director
Leslie Palacio Hello! I'd like to introduce myself to you all. Some of you I have met and known for sometime now, and others I have not had the pleasure of meeting quite yet.
I am Leslie Palacio, and I have lived in Baird for the past 13 years. My husband is Daniel Palacio, who has lived here for over half his lifetime. He is the Preacher at the Baird Church of God. Together we have two children, Bryce, who has been a Baird Bear his entire school career, is entering his 6th grade year this coming school year. Maverick, will be a Baird Bear for the first time when he enters Pre K.
I am very excited to be working for the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Baird, as the Community Coordinator. Previously, I worked for First Bank Texas in Clyde for almost 6 years. My involvement in working with businesses is not new, it's just a new area that I have not worked in before. Due to COVID-19 and learning the technical side of the job, it has been a little difficult getting out and going to our different businesses. You are on my list and have not been forgotten.
Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or even thoughts. I am open to all of them, and will do my best to make the residents of Baird proud of where they live. You can reach me by phone or email at 325.854.3062 or Leslie.cityofbaird@gmail.com.
July 4th Celebration
Leslie Palacio It was a great time to be able to get out and enjoy some fresh air, despite a COVID-19 pandemic. It was good to see family and friends being able to enjoy each other’s company in midst of music and fireworks.
We want to thank all those who have made this event successful. We would not have been able to do this without the help of the Community Development Corporation for the purchase of the fireworks. Kevin Davis and Scott Davis for putting on yet another fabulous fireworks show. For the Baird Chamber of Commerce for the downtown celebration and street dance. Donations from T & B Mechanical, First Bank Texas, and The Painted Donkey for the bands. We want to thank Jumps & Tents for Events for providing the Slip -N- Slide. Gravity’s Edge for bringing out their mobile Rock-climbing Tower. Southern Gourmet Funnel Cake Co. for providing foods and sweet treats. Finally, we want to thank the bands, Jordan Tyler Haynes and the Kitchen Choir & Garrett Bryan and the Traveling City Committee, who were able to come out and provide us with some great music. Bison Valley Productions, without whom we would not have the lights and sound.
