- Being physically active in Hallsville is about to get more convenient.
The groundbreaking ceremony for a new quarter-mile walking trail in
Hallsville will be held on May 18, 2004 in Tribble Park at 6 p.m. The
new 6-foot wide trail will be located close to  the children's play
areas within Tribble Park. The trail and its location are designed to
allow families to enjoy recreational activities together.
