Less than one year after responsibility for the Horseshoe Bay Memorial Association was transferred from the HSB POA to a new board, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for a second mausoleum located in the Eileen Hurd Nature Reserve not far from the sold-out original mausoleum. The occasion coincided with Eileen Hurd’s birthday on April 2.
Steve Jordan, former HSB mayor and president of the HSB Memorial Association, kept the ceremony concise. He offered a prayer of thanksgiving, noting the contributions of the Hurds, the new board, the City of HSB and the HSB Resort. Both the city and the Resort donated land to the Memorial Association, creating a total of 10 acres for future development.
Hurd loves to reminisce about how she and husband Wayne explored this piece of property years ago when so much of what is today HSB was still a grand plan and dream. This particular property was one of their favorite locations to hike and explore what is today the Slick Rock Creek Trail below the original Mausoleum.
