          HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY. 
          IT WAS ANOTHER ENTHUSIASTIC, ENERGETIC, AND ENORMOUS ENTOURAGE THAT JOINED MAYOR RON JENSEN FOR WHAT HAS BECOME AN OCTOBER TRADITION IN GRAND PRAIRIE. 
          IT'S THE ANNUAL STROLLING WITH THE MAYOR AND PINK OUT A TWO MILE SATURDAY MORNING DOWNTOWN WALKING TOUR THAT BEGINS AND ENDS AT G'S FARMER'S MARKET, WHERE ALONG WITH ITS USUAL OUTSTANDING VARIETY OF VENDORS, IS A CITY SPONSORED COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIR OFFERING ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION AND SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE MISSION THAT THE MAYOR HAD IN MIND WHEN HE FOUNDED THE EVENT SEVEN YEARS AGO TO RAISE AWARENESS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER DURING NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. 
          AND EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATES GETS A T-SHIRT AND IS ENCOURAGED TO WEAR PINK BECAUSE THAT'S THE COLOR THAT IS INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS A SYMBOL OF SUPPORT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST A DISEASE THAT CONTINUES TO AFFECT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. 
          WE'VE ALL BEEN AFFECTED, OF COURSE, COUNCIL MEMBER GEORGIA CLEMSON IS A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR. 
          MY SISTER WAS A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR UNTIL SHE RECENTLY PASSED AWAY. 
          SO ALL OF US KNOW SOMEBODY. 
          WE'VE LOST SO MANY BREAST CANCER AND WE WANTED TO GIVE OUR CITIZENS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WALK IN MEMORY OF THOSE PLUS THOSE THAT HAVE SURVIVED. 
          JENSEN IS NOW INVITING EVERYONE TO JOIN HIM FOR HIS NOVEMBER CYCLING WITH THE MAYOR BIKE RIDE AT THE 2025 EDITION OF PRAIRIE LIGHTS AT LYNN CREEK PARK ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24TH. 
          TO FIND OUT MORE, LOG ON TO GPTX.ORG/GET FIT. 
          GP EP VISITORS AT GRAND PRAIRIE'S MAIN LIBRARY ARE FINDING A FRESH AND EXCITING NEW LOOK WAITING FOR THEM WHEN THEY GET THERE THESE DAYS. 
          YES, SIR. 
          THE LIBRARY'S BEAUTIFUL NEW MAIN ENTRANCE WAS OFFICIALLY CHRISTENED AT THE END OF JULY, THE LATEST STAGE IN A RENOVATION PROJECT THAT BEGAN OVER 10 YEARS AGO TO BRING THE CITY'S OLDEST PUBLIC LIBRARY INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. 
          FROM THE DISTINCTIVE SIGNAGE AND INVITING PLAZA AREA OUTSIDE TO THE UNIQUE AND QUOTABLE MURAL ON THE WALL JUST INSIDE TO THE BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS RECEPTION AREA. 
          THE IDEA IS TO BE A PLACE THAT PEOPLE OF ALL AGES WILL WANT TO COME IN AND EXPLORE FROM THE MOMENT THEY ARRIVE AT THE FRONT DOOR. 
          WE WANT THEM TO FEEL EXCITED, WELCOME, AND WE WANT IT TO BE A WELCOMING EFFECT. 
          AND YOU COME AND GO, WOW, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE. 
          HENCE, THE MAYOR'S QUOTE. 
          WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO HAVE FUN. 
          THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING HAD ALREADY BEEN REMODELED IN 2016, SO IT'S BRIGHT COLORS AND REALLY A WOW FACTOR. 
          BUT WHEN YOU CAME IN THE BUILDING, IT STILL LOOKED LIKE IT DID IN TWO, 2009. 
          IT WAS KIND, EH, AND THE ENTRANCE. 
          SO WHAT WE WANNA DO IS MAKE A WOW FACTOR WITH THE ENTRANCE AND A WOW FACTOR WHEN YOU WALKED IN THE DOOR, AND WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT WE GOT DONE. 
          GRAND PRAIRIE'S MAIN LIBRARY IS OPEN DAILY, EXCEPT SUNDAYS FOR HOURS AND INFORMATION, INCLUDING THE NEW PROGRAMS AND SERVICES OFFERED AT ALL OF GPS LIBRARIES THIS FALL.
