Dads Invited: CoolxTips

The City of Baytown is proud to support CoolxDad Baytown, an official partner of the Baytown Fatherhood Initiative, as they kick off CoolxTips. At its simplest, CoolxTips brings dads together once a month to talk and share about what it means to be a better dad.

Many times, dads just need a place to talk with other dads about the stresses that come with fatherhood — and CoolxTips is that place. More involved fathers lead to less drug use and crime among kids in Baytown. Supporting dads strengthens families, and strengthening families strengthens the local area.

Who should come: Baytown-area dads who may need a little encouragement and would value hanging out with other dads.

Question Mark What GIF

Last Quiz: What natural landmark is responsible for creating the bright turquoise color of Hamilton Pool near Austin, Texas?
Answer: D - Calcium carbonate suspended in the water
Hamilton Pool’s striking blue-green color comes from fine calcium carbonate particles in the water, which reflect sunlight. The pool itself formed thousands of years ago after the collapse of an underground river dome.
