Lighting of the Commons
Many years ago, before Holiday Fest we had what was called Lighting of the Commons. The Commons area was strung with light all around and at a certain time of the evening, all of the lights would be turned on, including a giant Christmas tree. We had lots of singing, cookies, wassail, gingerbread, etc., and a lot of people crammed into the Commons area. Texas Master Chorale (then called The Tomball Community Chorus) led by Brad Bouley would come and sing, as well as other groups. I miss those days.

Library Beginnings
When the college was first built, I stopped by to see the library and I met Janice Peyton, the then director. The entire library was in boxes and it was fun to see the library before it was even finished. I went on to be hired by Janice to work part time as a reference librarian for 12 years. I went on to work full time at Kingwood and now at CyFair.
