(Seguin) — Residents planning to attend Seguin’s upcoming State of the City presentation are being encouraged to register online now so that city officials can better prepare for the event.
The 2026 Seguin State of the City is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Seguin Coliseum.
Jennifer Sourdellia, city of Seguin public information officer, says early registration will give city staff a better idea of how many people to expect.
“We’re just trying to get an idea about how many people that we are are going to be expecting. And that just helps us with planning purposes,” said Sourdellia.
Sourdellia says residents who register online also will have their names entered into a drawing for a prize. Those who do not register are still welcome to attend.
“If everyone would go and sign up, use our community calendar on our city of Seguin website. There’s actually a little banner at the top of our website with the link, so it’s really easy just to go there, click on the link and just sign up if you plan to come,” said Sourdellia.
The event will include a presentation from Seguin Mayor Donna Dodgen and City Manager Steve Parker. They will provide an overview of the current state of the city and discuss what lies ahead.
Sourdellia says the first hour will focus on the presentation, followed by an opportunity for residents to connect directly with city departments.
“It’s going to be a really good informative evening –for people to come and learn about what’s going on in our city — where we are right now in the state of our city and where we’re looking at in the future of our city,” said Sourdellia.
Following the presentation, city departments will have booths set up throughout the Coliseum. Residents can visit with staff, learn about city services and programs, and get updates from the various departments.
The event also will include an opportunity for residents to meet their city council members and participate in a question-and-answer session.
For those unable to attend in person, Sourdellia says the presentation will be livestreamed on the City of Seguin’s Facebook page.
City officials say those entering the drawing must be present to win.
