Fun Day at Lincoln Park Ahead of Jacksonville City Council Election

JACKSONVILLE, Texas (TXAN 24) — A community-focused event is set to bring families together at Lincoln Park as city council candidate Katrina Choice hosts a “Fun Day” ahead of early voting.

The event is scheduled for Friday, April 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the park, located at Park Drive and Davis Avenue in Jacksonville. Organizers say the goal is to create a welcoming space for families while encouraging civic engagement just days before early voting begins on April 20.

According to the flyer, attendees can expect a variety of free and low-cost activities, including snow cones, games, face painting, and line dancing. Food vendors will also be on-site, offering additional options for visitors throughout the day.

Choice, who is running for City Council District 1, is using the event as an opportunity to connect directly with residents in a relaxed, community-driven setting. Campaign materials included in the announcement highlight the importance of participation in the upcoming election cycle.

Events like this are common during local election seasons, blending outreach with family-friendly entertainment to boost turnout and awareness.

Residents are encouraged to stop by, enjoy the activities, and learn more about the candidates and issues shaping Jacksonville’s future.
