Sealy

The last week of October, 27 Austin County residents took an important step toward protecting their health by receiving mammograms through “The Rose.” This opportunity was made possible through the Friendto- Friend educational program, presented by the Austin County Family and Consumer Sciences Advisory Board in partnership with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Department of State Health Services, and Mid-Coast Medical Center of Bellville. Their involvement helped strengthen the program’s focus on breast health awareness and the vital role that early detection plays in saving lives.

Three local children waiting for their Make-A-Wish dreams inspire this year’s Fantasy of Lights theme Sealy’s beloved 39th Annual Fantasy of Lights Celebration returns December 4–6, 2025, and this year, it carries a message deeper and more powerful than twinkling lights and holiday cheer. This year’s theme, “A Wishful Christmas,” was chosen in honor of six local children who are currently waiting for their wishes to be granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Kicking off the Fantasy of Lights celebration this year, the Sealy Area Historical Society will hold a Christmas event on Dec. 5 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Sealy Historical Park at 211 East Main Street. On Dec. 13, the celebration of the holidays continues at the Sealy Historical Park from noon to 8 p.m.
