This 25-year anniversary of the Aggie Bonfire Collapse is a bit surreal for me -- surreal in how this much time has passed & how vivid the tragedy remains.
@KAMUTVFM has created a retrospective I think you'll want to see. Some stories you haven't heard.
tx.ag/BonfireAt25
Fascinating talk with the new chief. Covered:
✔ Why @BryanPolice runs its own academy 🏃🏼♂️
✔ What community engagement should look like 🏘
✔ Who seeks law enforcement as a profession 🚓
✔ How Ring is the new neighborhood watch 📱
Plenty more. Watch or listen today!
New on Brazos Matters: Bryan Police Chief Dean Swartzlander is using his 27 years with the department to guide its next chapter. He's seen/done it all, including some very dangerous responses.

On the Brazos Matters podcast:
Teaching cheerleading when you've never been a cheerleader? That was an early hometown experience for new(ish) @CityofCS Parks Director Kelsey Heiden, but it's not the approach for College Station.

And for interested #Aggies, Kelli and I discussed whether "Howdy!" is still a big deal on campus.
📈 @TAMU's Appelt Aggieland Visitor Center hosts 80,000 visitors/year, runs 45+ events, incl. Aggieland Saturday's attendance of 24,000+ -- and does it with a small crew!
💡Director Kelli Hollinger's idea: More tour hubs, please!

I’ve heard of BV Gives for a while, but just didn’t really know much about it. Molly dropped some knowledge on me! 🙌🏻
New on Brazos Matters: Oct. 15 marks the 6th Brazos Valley Gives event for dozens of local nonprofits. A massive undertaking, according to Co-Chair Molly Watson, who says Aggieland always comes through.

Nope, did not expect to learn that the Bryan Animal Center is occasionally called upon to adopt out a ton of mice or a rat or a giant lizard -- all new to me. Also a reminder that they're competing with police, fire, parks, etc. for 💰. Good talk with Ashley!
Bryan Animal Center's "guests"? Dogs/cats, obvs. How about iguanas and giant tegu lizards. Owls and egrets. Even adoptable mice!
