Good morning, Bryan.

The Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce hosted its Leadership Brazos luncheon on July 9—featuring remarks from business leader Ben Keating—and presented the Royce Hickman leadership scholarship to Emily Brown while outlining details for the next class of the program.

On July 1, Bryan police arrested 17-year-old Daniel Elvis Hernandez on charges of shooting at a father and his two sons during a May 28 incident in a local neighborhood; he remains in Brazos County Jail with bonds totaling $300,000—juvenile authorities hold him pending further review.

Bryan city council unanimously approved a three-year rental agreement on July 8 for Travis Major Field at Midtown Park that will start in 2026 and bring a new Mid America League Baseball team while providing the city with $32,000 a year and revenue shares from game-related rights + the deal ends an 18-year arrangement with the Brazos Valley Bombers, where the city paid utilities and received no revenue.

At Tuesday’s Bryan City Council meeting, members paid tribute to longtime speaker Patrick Giammalva who passed on June 21 after eight years of service and support for local projects.

He once suggested using water wells for a lazy river & a splashpad and ran for mayor in 2019 and council in 2022 & 2024.
