In lieu of the city’s annual Mother’s Day cake decorating contest, Missouri City will host a drive-thru Mother’s Day event May 9 from 10 a.m.-noon.
All members of the community are invited to drive through the city hall complex, located at 1522 Texas Parkway, where they will receive a red rose and a commemorative card and meet Missouri City Mayor Yolanda Ford.
Additionally, winners and participants of the city’s card decorating contest will be recognized. Children in grades K-5 are invited to decorate a special card in honor of a loved one and submit a photo of the card and description to the city.
“The annual Mother’s Day cake decorating event is a popular family-oriented event, and we had several inquiries about it this year," HOA Liaison and Event Coordinator Kelly Matte said in a news release. "Given the current situation, we thought to cancel first, but then thought of an innovative way to engage the public in a safe way. We really hope this contest provides a fun way for our children to showcase their talents and also share how much their loved ones mean to them.”
