City of Mesquite, TX Government

Mary Wavrusa walked through the doors of the Mesquite Public Library in 1978 as a high school student, and what started as a work-study program became a lifetime of service.

She helped grow the Main Library, helped open the North Branch, and touched countless lives along the way.

Grateful to join in recognizing Mary with a resolution celebrating her retirement from the City of Mesquite and her 48 years of public service.

Tomorrow’s Downtown Mesquite Market has been canceled due to rapidly evolving weather conditions.
Forecast updates continue to show a strong chance of showers during key setup and tear-down periods, which creates unsafe and unpredictable conditions for vendors, guests, and event operations.
With safety as our guiding priority, we are erring on the side of caution and making the decision early to avoid putting anyone in a difficult or unsafe position.
