The pool will open at 10 a.m. and remain open until 5 p.m. The day?s events will include numerous games, a cookout, and an appearance by Gilley the Frog.

The Gilley Pool staff has spent the past week working diligently to get last-minute details done and get the pool ready to open. Parks and Recreation director Carlene Brown says it?s all been worth it.
