Navigating Growth: A Council Member's Perspective
For Questions or Comments Send us a Text Message
Pulling back the curtain on local government decision-making, Councilman Andrew Evans joins the Cross Roads Podcast to explain the often invisible forces that shape our communities.
What makes a councilman vote for a development project that neighbors oppose? Evans walks us through the legislative chess game behind the scenes, revealing how pending bills at the state level could strip away municipal oversight of religious land development. His candid explanation of House Bill 3172 and Senate Bill 954 illuminates why he chose a "bird in hand" approach rather than gambling with neighborhood interests.
The conversation tackles the realities of explosive growth in North Texas, particularly along the 380 corridor, where traffic woes have become a daily struggle for residents. Evans doesn't just acknowledge the frustration—he offers practical pathways for citizen involvement and provides a refreshing perspective on civic engagement that goes beyond attending council meetings.
Perhaps most valuable is Evans' blueprint for effective local governance participation, from subscribing to town newsletters to showing up at HOA meetings. His invitation to the May 7th town hall meeting specifically organized for Hillstone Point residents demonstrates his commitment to strengthening the bridge between citizens and their local government.
Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the area, this episode provides crucial context for understanding who represents you, how development decisions are made, and most importantly, how your voice can meaningfully influence the future of your community. Listen now, then mark your calendar for upcoming community events where you can put your newfound knowledge into action.

Steven Killfoil:Podcast, for those who want to be in the know, who's your daddy? Good morning, Cross Roads. This is your host, Steven Killfoil. Welcome to Cross Roads Podcast. On the show today, as promised, we have a distinguished guest from the Little Elm Town Council Councilman, Andrew Evans, and I'm getting ready to dial him in right now. Perfect, all right, perfect. Thank you for coming on the show today, Andrew.
Andrew Evans:Sure thing. Glad to be here. I just wanted to.
Steven Killfoil:You informed me that I made an incorrect listing of your district, so would you please help me with that correction right now?
Andrew Evans:Yes, sir, um, and hopefully everybody on your, your page, I tried to share the Little little Elm elm District district map so that everybody can see their district councilmen or women, uh, council members uh, within each of the district. Um, you know, I really encourage everybody that is listening to this to understand who your council members are, and in the town of little Elm, you, each district, has four people that represent them.
Andrew Evans:They have the mayor who's there. So basically, when you're living anywhere, anybody, you vote for. Those people that you vote for the people that represent you. They're supposed to be your voice, that's what you're voting for and that includes your ISD positions as well, your school district positions and anything else on your ballot. So I really encourage those to understand that the people that you vote for those are the people that you represent or that represent you. And in the town of Little Elm you have four representatives. You have the mayor, you have your district council person that is actually tied to and living directly in your district. So in the district map that I provided as a comment and response in your message detailing this podcast, district 5 is the district that I live in and that's that's how I am a district representative. Then each district has two at-large council positions and that's Place 1 and Place 6. And who are?
Andrew Evans:Two people? Did you? And I don't want to be, you know, I provided that information in that, in the comments, so that you would have the information and really like I don't, I don't, I'm here to represent myself, I don't, I'm here to represent myself. You asked me to come on to represent why I made the decision I made in understand who represents you, by making sure that you're aware of the district map and the district map that's there. It provides the voices, the people that have been voted into the roles. So, again, you have a mayor, every district has the mayor. They have the at-large place one position, then they have their actual district representative and then they have their place six at-large council member. So, and I will allow you, as the host of this podcast, to present those names to your listeners, okay, great.
Steven Killfoil:Well, no problem, that's posted out on the Hillstone Point unfiltered Facebook page, so everyone listening go to that and read that information and get to know your people Also. I believe we have an event coming up in May, correct?
Andrew Evans:no-transcript unsuccessful. However, the most recent involvement from your community for the development that was voted on on April 1st the blessing in disguise that came out of that was I've been able to get connected to not only the HOA team but also your residents came out of that was I've been able to get connected to not only the HOA team but also your residents and I feel really blessed to have been able to do that. Out of that, I've been able to connect with the HOA president and I connected her with our town manager and I encouraged our town manager and our town staff to put together a town hall specifically for Hill Point, so that we could, so that we could provide and I apologize, I'm kind of multitasking here because I want to send you the district map again, just so you have it, so you might be able to add it to this, um, to this, maybe, podcast, just as a uh something added support after this, but, uh, I apologize, the date of the event is and I'm pulling it up right now Um. I believe it's May 7th.
Andrew Evans:Correct, but if I'm not mistaken, At 7 o'clock. Yeah, and where is it? I think it's located at the Providence Village Elementary School.
Steven Killfoil:I believe, so yes, okay.
Andrew Evans:All right, and I'm going to send that over to you as well. I'm pulling that up right now and I'm going to send it your way.
Andrew Evans:Okay. fantastic Fantastic, and that is, Wednesday,Wednesday, May 7th at 7 PM and it's at the Providence Elementary Cafeteria and that's located at 1000 FM, 2931, Aubrey aubrey.
Steven Killfoil:Perfect.
Andrew Evans:again, that's going to be right on the invitation that I'm going to forward over to you right now great.
Steven Killfoil:Again make sure to get that info out onto both Facebook pages of the Hillstone Point HOA and I my hopes are that in this podcast it will also encourage the mayor of Cross Roads and the new city manager to reach out and do something of similar fashion for the folks on the Cross Roads side, because there's a lot of unanswered questions and people are starting to. Finally, I think, like you said, you know it was a blessing and at the same time it was bad, but sometimes it takes something really bad and big to shake it up and get people's attention and I think now, moving forward, you will have our full attention and participation, many of us, for sure,
Andrew Evans:and I would respectfully disagree.
Andrew Evans:I mean framing it as something bad. You know, hopefully, as we get through the questions that you ask me, hopefully I might be able to change your mind on it being such a bad decision, because I mean, for me, I'm not a gambler, I don't like gambling with. You know my neighbor's lives and hopes. You know there is obviously a you know, and I'll save this until we get to the actual specific questions related to the reasons why I voted for the proposal.
Steven Killfoil:Okay, will do All right. Well, let's move on to the very first question, which is what are some of your goals as a councilman for your district? What are some of the ideas that you have that you would like to share with our listeners, and hopefully we'll invoke more participation to help you generate more ideas and support to help get some of your ideas put into action.
Andrew Evans:Yeah, you know I'll be honest with you to help get some of your ideas put into action. Yeah, you know I'll be honest with you, I didn't come into this role with specific goals other than I wanted to make sure that we had representation on the 380 corridor. When I came into this role, we had a councilman who was living in Union Park and they had finally started bringing some attention to the 380 corridor. However, that individual had made a decision that was best for his family to move and leave that seat just before the term was up. Actually, it was right about the term being up, which left that seat open and I was grateful to have begun getting connected to different groups within the North Texas area specifically related to the school districts. Related to the school districts because my kids, my children, went to the Denton ISD and at that time I was, you know, very involved in the schools and actually considering running for the school district.
Andrew Evans:However, Denton ISD is a very large district and I didn't feel comfortable, as you know somebody that doesn't. I didn't move here to get into politics or anything like that. I just care very much about children and I care very much about, you know, neighbors in my, my community. So, um, and I'm always been somebody that has been a voice that you know I stand up for what I believe is true and right, and that is the reasons that I began researching to possibly run for an ISD seat. However, I learned that that is a very big task.
Andrew Evans:The Denton ISD is very large and not only was I not willing to take away that time for my family, but also just financially it would have been a monster to tackle and I don't have the funds. I work my butt off just to be able to pay my bills, and that was really what you know. When our councilperson decided to move and that seat opened up for our district, I saw that much more of an opportunity to get my foot in the door, to be a voice for my neighbors and my community and be more successful at that and see where it goes. However, I know now that I don't know if you know bigger offices are anywhere in my mindset. I mean I can tell you right now they're not. I just want to be a good representative to my community and that's what I've done for the last two years since I was elected. I represent a few different communities. I represent a small piece of Sunset Point, valencia, on the Lakes, union Park and Hillstone Point, among a couple other small pockets, and I've done everything I can.
Andrew Evans:I think that I'm confident in knowing that the Valencia on the Lakes community, I was able to get connected with them and get on their HOA pages. I think that anybody you talk to in Union Park would be very aware of my involvement in this community, union Parks community. I've done everything I can to listen and hear what's being shared so that I can work with our town staff and have the oversight that needs to be taken place on specific issues that come up, to be taking place on specific issues that come up. And that's really been my goal as the councilman for District 5 is to, when something comes up, make sure that my neighbors know who to reach out to, how to reach out to them, and if they aren't prepared or they aren't comfortable, then I will be their voice. And often, more often than not, I am their voice. And again, I mean that just goes to you know kind of my sadness that I wasn't able to connect to the Hillstone Point community earlier, because it was really I never had seen or talked to any Hillstone Point resident until y'all showed up at that meeting. So, um, that's my whole goal of account being a councilman is to um, gain the trust and gain the respect from my district constituents, for them to know that I am available, I'm responsive and I will do whatever I can to uh be a fighter, be a representative, to uh do what's right. And I'll be honest, what's right Isn't always exactly what a neighbor will want.
Andrew Evans:Um, you know there are some times, like this most recent situation, that I don't believe that everybody had the full knowledge of what is coming down the pipeline. That could have made things much worse than what we were able to do. You know, I believe that what occurred was we had a bird in the hand, which is better than two in the bush. You know, there are some Senate bills and there is a House bill that is coming down the pipe that I will get into and read through. That would have taken away any opportunity for the town to have had any oversight with this developer and this developer could have just built up this property any which way they wanted.
Andrew Evans:And I believe that the developer and with our planning and zoning and our planning and zoning team, we were able to work with the developer and they made many, many, many accommodations to make this the absolute best product for the Hillstone Point community. When the other opportunity had, we gambled it could have just been a development that we would have had zero oversight into and you know, we could have had two-story buildings built all along the neighborhood walls, with windows looking into people's backyards, and it could have been far worse. So I truly believe that at the time we made this, it was the best opportunity. So I truly believe that at the time we made this, it was the best opportunity and I'm comfortable standing by that.
Andrew Evans:Definitely. Well, as I announced in the ad that I put out on Facebook that I was hoping to get more questions in the email, but unfortunately I did not receive any. Get more questions in the email, but unfortunately I did not receive any. I do have one from my wife um, if you wouldn't mind taking that real fast, sure okay she put you're putting me on the spot, though.
Andrew Evans:It's a, it's an, it's an it's an easy question uh actually right, it actually ties into, uh, our side as well.
Steven Killfoil:It's
Steven Killfoil:something that we've been kind of hashing over at it with the HOA in regards to, um, helping put a curb through the, through the uh nascar speed, through our neighborhood situation by actually car track where you live too oh yeah, man, they come down Alamandine Avenue. I know darn well they're doing way more than 35 We've got a lot of streets like that.
Steven Killfoil:I honestly don't know what they think they're gonna gain by doing that, but they're doing it anyway. We've we've been mashing over the thought of potentially gating the community. Uh, would that be a possibility on the Little Elm side?
Andrew Evans:You know, um, I know that the only way that you, you all, can control those roads is by getting the community. I am not, uh, I'm not knowledgeable enough to share the details of what the requirements would be around that and what you all would be giving up if that was something that you pursued. And just my thoughts. I don't know, this doesn't come from any education, but my thoughts are the roads that are there, and so, if I understood correctly, you're in the Cross Roads section, correct? But even considering the Little Elm section, the Little Elm town manages and cares for those roads and sidewalks. They maintain them out of the tax dollars and I would under, I would believe that Coss Roads is the same way.
Steven Killfoil:No, we are on our own on the Cross Roads side, so if anything happens to our roads, as the HOA we're responsible for them.
Andrew Evans:Okay, so. So I would guess, just based on what you shared, that you would probably gate only the Cross Roads section and then, since you're already on those roads, that would take away those roads from being public. Um, but that is really something that you know you would probably need to address with the Cross Roads town management and leadership. I know for Little Elm. I would believe that if you did gate the Little Elm section, that you all would then take on the responsibility to maintain those roads, because you would essentially take away the public use of those roads because you would essentially take away the public use of those roads.
Steven Killfoil:Okay, I understood that. Also on the Little Elm side it was private, not public road.
Andrew Evans:And it's my understanding that if it's got a little sailboat, our little Little Elm sailboat on the street, sign that those are Little Elm public roads and public sidewalks which are part of our maintenance program. And therefore, if you see any cracks, if you see any issues with the streets, there is an opportunity for you to put in tickets and we will come out and take a look at them and get them repaired if they fit the criteria, or we will monitor them so that when they do fit the criteria, we'll make sure to get them fixed up.
Steven Killfoil:Oh, that's good to know. Okay, all right. Well, thank you for answering that quick question. Here's another one for you. It's super easy how can the citizens get more directly involved to help assist you? And I hope everybody out here listening listens very close to his answer, because this is very important.
Andrew Evans:So I have already shared the main sale, the main sale information, the email or the website where you can get tied into all of the mailing lists for the different little elm emails. So, everything from the lakefront to the main sale, the main sale is, in my eyes, the best email. Uh, I'm sorry, the, you know. Uh, thank you. The email the main sale is the best email mailing list that you want to get involved Right up front. It shows all of your council people, it shows the mayor and all the council people 80 to events going on in the town. Um, but there's also many other email, um, email, uh, what did I just say? Uh, yes, the email contacts where, basically, you get your, your I hate to say it, but you're spammed, um, but not often it's.
Andrew Evans:I think it's very underwhelming. You know, I hate to say it, but your spammed, but not often. I think it's very underwhelming. I think some of them are every two weeks, some of them are one week, but it's just a way to get involved in what's going on with the town. I think that we do it often and I'm trying to, and hopefully your community, hillstone Point has seen me get more involved on the Facebook pages with respect to sharing certain things that are going on, everything from what's going on with 380 to the main sale stuff, the lakefront stuff so that you can all be involved in the different things that the town provides.
Andrew Evans:And I think what I was saying was is any, even many residents in Union Park and many residents in Valencia on the lakes and Sunset Point. You know we all get so busy with our families and I, I myself in the same way and have been the same way, and and it's totally understandable, but you do want to get involved. The best way is to know when the council meetings are, which they are the first and third Tuesday of every single month at 6 pm. You can watch them online. The agenda comes out Friday night before the meetings and then you can watch the meetings live online or you can show up to the meetings at town hall. It gives a great opportunity to hear what's going on and meet your representatives, the mayor, the two at-large positions and your district council person. That's really the best way to begin hearing about what's going on and then that will give each individual an idea of how they want to get involved. We have lots of involvement opportunities, everything from the FLEES, which is the oh my goodness FLEES. It stands for Friends of Little Elm Animal Shelter, great opportunities there and it's a great acronym FLEES. So again, friends of Little Elm Animal Shelter, we've got our Little Elm Food Bank. We've got Keeping Little Elm Beautiful, which is a great opportunity to clean up Little Elm, clean up our trails. You know there's so many different resources that if everybody were to go to and spend 10 to 15 minutes in the littleelmgov website, I think that many of the constituents could understand where and how they can get involved. And I would direct any of the Hillstone Point constituents and anybody else in Little Elm to that website and just encourage you to spend 10 or 15 minutes playing around with it. You see what's there. You can see the different individuals who work for our town and the different areas. It's broken down by parks and recreation, government and town staff and finance staff and finance and accounting and town staff and finance staff and finance and accounting. If people, if constituents, were able to take 10 to 15 minutes. No-transcript.
Andrew Evans:Yes
Andrew Evans:, definitely. Well, since you've already hit on the whole situation regarding that Ordinance 1802, we're pretty much done with that. It's finished. So in all, fairness to…. Remind me Ordinance 1802, you're talking about… yeah, that rezoning of the 10 acres that got approved for the house proposals being
Andrew Evans:right beside our neighborhood there at Hillstone.
Steven Killfoil:Point, If you don't mind. I mean I'd like to take a minute and talk about the different bills, unless you were headed down that direction.
Andrew Evans:Yes, that's what I was. Yeah, go ahead and hit on those bills.
Steven Killfoil:Yeah. So the reason. So the question directed towards me was why I voted as one of the seven votes, why I voted to support it. As I mentioned, I'm not a gambler. What I am aware of is that there are two bills that are being pushed One, I believe, is being heavily supported by Jared Patterson he is one of our area representatives as well as we have a Senate bill. So both bills are almost the same and the bill names are the House Bill HB3172, and then there is a Senate, bill 954. So that's SB 954.
Steven Killfoil:So just reading real quickly, the beginning of these bills, these bills state development on religious land. Now to remind everybody that property that was being discussed for this development is currently owned by, it's a religious land and it is currently zoned at agriculture. However they are, that agricultural zoning is coming up for rezoning, zoning is coming up for rezoning. So this bill right here, reading the bill, it states development on religious land would, among other things, provide that religious land is land that is owned by a religious organization or leased by a religious organization for a term of at least 40 years. So what this would do it would provide that religious land, except for religious land located within a quarter mile of heavy industrial use, an airport, a seaport or military base, which would not apply to this property. It states that a city must permit. So this is basically taking away the city's rights. This bill would enforce cities to permit multifamily and mixed use as allowable uses on religious land. So again, it would force us as a town, the town of Little Elm, it would force us to permit multifamily or mixed use that is allowable. It also states that a city may not require a proposed multifamily or mixed-use development on religious land to obtain a zoning or land use change, special exemption, variance, conditional use approval, special use permit, comprehensive plan amendment or other land use classification or approval to permit the proposed use and development.
Steven Killfoil:Allow for the minimum density that we would not be allowed to. Uh, we would not be allowed to enforce a minimum density. It states that we would have to allow for uh for the. We would have to. We would not be able to implement a minimum density. We would not be able to have oversight on the building height. We wouldn't have opportunity to have oversight on the setbacks or the site development.
Steven Killfoil:Regulations authorized under. Regulations authorized under. And it gives some details below and then it says for a multifamily or mixed-use development on religious land. A city may not restrict the height of a proposed development to less than 40 feet and three full stories Required front setbacks greater than 15 feet, rear setbacks greater than 10 feet or side setbacks greater than 5 feet. We wouldn't be able to establish minimum parking requirements except as required by federal law. Restrict the ratio of the development's proposed building gross floor area to site area, building coverage, density, unit size and and I'm just going to say these bills go on, this bill goes on. Uh, again, I'm going to state the building it's hb 3172 and sb 954. These bills are being pushed through and supported by the leadership of our area representatives and our Senate representatives.
Andrew Evans:So I would say it's a definite no for both.
Steven Killfoil:But are those going to be on the ballot, and they would not come to our ballot is would not come to our ballot, is my understanding. So again, I don't want to gamble with my constituents livelihoods. We had a excellent product that was delivered. The developer that came in made multiple accommodations. They added more trees, they added a park area, they offered to do single stories all the way around, which minimizes their actual opportunity to recover, their actual opportunity to recover. Uh, they did one single stories all the way around. Instead of doing a six foot wooden fence, they offered eight foot. Uh, um, sorry, brick, uh, not brick, but they the name is uh, I'm forgetting the name uh, not a cinder, it's a cinder block wall and essentially there's a name for it. I apologize for forgetting the name right now, but it's an eight-foot non-wooden fence, it's a cinder block brick wall. So there were many, many opportunities that we gained by having this developer go through the planning and zoning process to provide a product that was far superior to what we, if we had gambled and these bills had gone through, what any developer could have offered this religious uh, this religious religious organization a developer could have offered this religious organization if these bills go through. So it was either I gamble and say, look, I hear you constituents, I want to vote against this and then leave it up to chance that if these go through, it's in the religious organization's favor, if these bills go through. And had we not supported that developer? But that developer was going above and beyond to try to provide a far superior product than what could be put in place.
Steven Killfoil:Most of the comments that I heard were highly around two points. One was a park. Putting a park in that place, which let alone does not own that land, nor do we have the finances to just put a park, and not only what that would do to the town, because I also care about the town as a whole. We wouldn't have the opportunity to recoup any of the actual taxes for that property. We just go put a park on it. Furthermore, regarding that park, I heard many individuals at the meetings talking about how they don't have a park close by, and the closest one is seven miles away, however, exactly two miles down the road or less, because I run that distance, I run down three. Union Park is two miles down the road, literally Union Park. We have a big central park that is public. It is not specific to our community, it is public and it's a big park. So, just touching on the park piece, little Elm doesn't have the funds, nor do we own that land to put a park there. And secondly, I hope that your community, hillstone Point, knows that they have a big central park just two miles down the road.
Steven Killfoil:I will understand the argument that 380 is terrible getting down there. And that brings me to the next point that I've heard a lot about, which is the traffic, the traffic going through that 720, 380 intersection. I totally understand and I sympathize because I'm dealing with the 380 traffic as well. We've had closures at our main entrances, at all of our entrances for Union Park. We've had close for long periods of time. It's been very stressful and hard to get out of our community and I know that you guys are probably dealing with it even worse because of Silverado. That community is one of the biggest communities in all the country right now. I believe it's one of the top five developments that are being built in the entire country and you all are dealing with all that traffic that's trying to come down to 380 and funneled into that single lane yeah, we get it coming and going, so yeah, not in little elms opportunity to fix.
Steven Killfoil:However, again, this goes back to the blessing in disguise. I am glad that I finally connected with you guys because you guys can continue to bring me up to speed with the regular issues that you're seeing. I know one of the constituents. I already connected him to our police chief so he sat down on April 22nd and had a meeting with him. We also set up a town hall coming on May 7th. I want to be involved, I want to hear about the issues, but I want to encourage you all to be as patient as you can, because none of this is going to happen overnight and it's not something that Little Elm had any foresight into or opportunity to hold Silverado accountable for this.
Steven Killfoil:Quite honestly, if I were Hillstone Point's neighbors, I would do my best to find a way to get involved with silverado's hoa and their development and be at every meeting that you can, yelling at them, because what they're doing to y'all is not not right. And if there's something I can do, if y'all can get me involved in that I. I can't do the legwork, but I will show up with you guys. If you tell me when to show up, I will do whatever I can to move my schedule around to be there, and that's what I do for all of my communities. I show up as a volunteer, as a neighbor, just as a constituent, to Union Park municipal management meetings. Municipal management meetings I'm not on, I don't get paid to go to the meetings, I don't, I'm not on board. But I do it so that I can be involved and I can be knowledgeable and, as things come up, I can speak my mind in the public, the public speaking or the public comments time.
Steven Killfoil:So I just, if you all are having those issues, I can't do it, I can take care of, you know, issues related to public safety, getting our town staff involved relative to Little Elm items, but things that are going on with that road that is not managed or handled by Little Elm and really is being taken over by the northern community that's being built. I encourage you all to get involved, find ways to get in there, and I will stand by you. So that is my best advice in that respect and I will say that this development that we did approve is not going to be built next year. It likely won't. It's probably two, two and a half years down the road before you've seen a single neighbor. I will agree that there will probably be trucks that go there, maybe in like two years-ish, but at that time hopefully we are better connected and hopefully I can have our town better prepared when this development begins, so that we are making steps to not cause an even worse problem than is already there. Right, Absolutely.
Andrew Evans:I think a lot of this traffic will fix itself once and I don't know what the timeline is on this but Commissioner Williams from Denton County told me that Main Street or 1385, is going to be widened to six lanes all the way up to Friendship Road, all the way up to Friendship Road. So at that point in time all those people in that Silverado unit will be able to divert and get out on Main Street to get to 380. They won't have to go down this backside so much Like now. That's the main way. So I think once they widen that uh 1385 into six lanes, that's going to really make a huge impact on that traffic, uh, rerouting it, but God knows how long that's going to be. You know there's they've got to finish three 80 first before they can even begin to widen any of those side roads.
Steven Killfoil:So yeah, and you know I I hate to remind everybody, but I I mean I'm again, I live right off of 380 and I moved here and I knew that this is a growing new area and, as hard as it is to say, I respectfully just want to remind everybody that we bought knowing that this is a growing area and we have to have a little bit of patience.
Steven Killfoil:I know we've already provided, you know, patience and I'm dealing with it every day. It's so bad, but you know, if we can, just I feel like we're almost there and biggest light that we started to see was just what was it? Two weeks ago, all those lanes opened up at the 720-380 intersection and I'm really hopeful and the feedback that I got when I shared that it seemed fairly positive. Now I don't know if that's changed, if it's gotten worse, but I'm really hopeful that it has improved, at least for those you know kind of heading, heading North through that intersect, um, I I don't know how much it's helped heading South, but um, you know I'm remaining prayerful that it's going to continue getting better.
Andrew Evans:Absolutely, absolutely Well. That answered a lot of questions, I'm certain, and I want to thank you again for your time for coming on the podcast.
Steven Killfoil:I'm a talker even. Oh, that's no problem.
Andrew Evans:We'll get you on again. I'm guaranteeing you that. Okay, everybody, local events around our area. Mark your calendars for this.
Andrew Evans:Saturday, may 3rd, for Crossroads' first market of the summer, from 8 am to 11 am at the park. At 424 and Fish Trap Road, dunn Farming is going to bring out some awesome produce.
