Good morning, Wichita Falls.

On May 31, 2025, families in downtown Wichita Falls joined CASA Red River’s butterfly release — where over 300 butterflies soared to show how small acts can help CASA children.

Volunteer coordinator Casey Washington said the event aimed to raise funds and awareness for CASA’s mission — and featured community fun with hotdogs, bubble wands, and chalk drawing.

Volunteers at this year’s Catholic Charities Day of Service cleaned local properties and built a wheelchair ramp for a veteran while hosting a food drive for the Vernon College Food Pantry.

Mayor Tim Short recognized five friends known as the Fab Five during their second annual scholarship banquet for awarding three scholarships to students from local high schools.

The group, which first formed on a cruise, will continue helping students attend college—two recipients will attend Midwestern State University while one will attend Texas Tech this fall.

A collection of TRN photos shows a busy May in Wichita Falls as local athletes ran in track meets, playoff games were played, and events like a debutante presentation, school ceremonies, and a historical marker restoration took place.

The images also capture a flooded Wichita River and the reopening of Long John Silver's — a sign of the community coming together — offering a clear view of local life.
