If you have a Kroger card, please print this letter and take it with you the next time you shop. Scan your Kroger card then ask the attendant to scan the bar code on the letter. This will then link your card to our organization.

Last year our portion of the funds dropped so we are hoping to make this the best year yet so your help in participating in this program will benefit the various programs that we support.

Remember, too, you do not have to be a member of the Heritage Association to participate. Anyone (a neighbor, relative, friend) who does not already participate for another non profit can link their Kroger card to our group. So, please share your letter with others!

Thank you for taking the time to support the Heritage Association of Frisco.

This year’s contest theme was the sites around town that have been marked with historical markers by HAF.

See the Frisco ISD Web site for more information.

2. Online research of family lines.

3. Searching online for missing death certificates.

Knowledge of some online web sites such as ancestry.com is helpful but not necessary for all of Pam’s needs. Anyone can be taught how to look at microfilm and use a scanner. Please consider helping on this worthwhile project to research and record all we can about the historic Bethel Cemetery of Frisco.

Contact Pam Schuler at Pam@newschu.com.

To assure the widest possible inclusion of sites contacts are being established in communities to assist in finding individuals who have an interest in local history and would be interested in volunteering to collect information on these sites.

Please come and be a part of this exciting project.

Collin County Cattlemen recounts the incredible true stories of this iconic period in Texas history presented by Randy Farmer, historian and author, at the Frisco Heritage Museum on Saturday, March 27, from 2- 3:30 p.m. in the museum’s Heritage Theater located at 6455 Page Street.

The State of Texas dominated the United States cattle trade during the boom years from 1865 to 1892, and many of the “Cattle Kings” of Texas got their start in Collin County. Learn about the cattle industry in Collin County, an early center of both legal and illegal cattle trade from the 1840s until 1874 when the Chisholm Trail opened further west.

The program is free with Museum admission. ($4 for adults; $2 for children, ages 5-18; or $8 for a family)
