3...2...1... Happy New Year!!!

Hello Texas Twirl Fans. Welcome to 2017!


Today we get to celebrate many things... the start of the New Year, the ending of the old one, the possibilities that lie ahead, the successes, and the failures, that we leave behind.

While the general consensus has been that 2016 wasn't quite the banner year that the world was hoping for, it was a great year in terms of increasing communication across the Texas Twirling Community.

I have been humbled at all of your usage of the TexasTwirl.com website and the excitement over this blog. I am so appreciative of all the responses, involvement, and kind words. Our mission is to help keep our sport and our community going strong by bringing us together. I hope to see both continue to thrive in the coming year by spreading even more communication across our great State.

To celebrate what this blog has achieved, we wanted to do a Goodbye 2016 post to take a look back on the past six months of this blog's existence and recognize those that have helped contribute to our mission...
