As the 10-year anniversary of the Bastrop County Complex Fire approaches this fall, the county’s long term recovery team has announced its plans to memorialize the fire and the lingering effects of it, both positive and negative.
Sheila Lowe, the executive director of the Bastrop County Long Term Recovery Team, told the Bastrop County Commissioners Court on Monday that programming will include community events, a golf tournament and a special magazine highlighting the stories of heroes and survivors from the fire.
“Because (the) Bastrop County Long Term Recovery Team was born out of that historic event, we thought that it’d be only fitting that we lead in the commemoration of it,” Lowe told the court.
