Each year, the Stella Roberts Golden Pear is awarded to the person or organization that has demonstrated exemplary efforts in keeping with the city's environmental efforts.
This year’s winner, the Pearland Parks and Recreation department, led by their Executive Director Michelle Smith, was honored at the Keep Pearland Beautiful Awards Dinner for all their hard work and extra green efforts her team members implemented to make Pearland a more beautiful and environmentally friendly city.
“This is in line with the Pearland City Council’s set of goals. I really appreciate Keep Pearland Beautiful’s recognition,” Pearland Assistant City Manager Jon Branson said. “The Parks and Recreation Department has worked hard to earn this award.”
With so many successful community activities held each year by the Parks and Recreation Department, centered on eco consciousness, it’s no wonder they would win this conservation based award. All you need to do is attend an event or visit one of their many parks, hike and bike trails or splash pads to see all their efforts at work.

As a self proclaimed crawfish critic, I often venture out to the local cook-off in hopes of finding something a little out of the ordinary. And, I’m not impressed by heat alone, which seems too often to be the only differing factor.
But, at a recent backyard cook-off, I found a pleasantly delicious and surprisingly different batch of mudbugs. And, to avoid tainting the competition, I will avoid divulging the teams’ identity, but I will share the secret – because you will definitely want to try this one at home! It was simply a bag of newly created boil seasoning called White Trash Seafood Boil.

This Saturday, May 8, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., volunteers from Annie's Angels Animal Rescue will be at the Event Pavilion with loveable, furry friends, available for adoption. This highly regarded animal rescue organization is made up of a close-knit group of volunteers who foster all the animals within the organization. Taking in large dogs, small dogs, puppies and senior dogs, and having the dog vetted prior to a behavior evaluation enables Annie’s Angels to find the best family match for each dog.
Even if you are not able to attend, or just need a little extra time to make the decision to adopt, you can visit their website for each pet’s biography or to fill out an adoption contract and adoption application. And, if approved, you can look forward to bringing your new friend home.
