Excitement was in the air June 16-18 as current residents of Thornton welcomed former citizens and visitors from all over Texas and neighboring Louisiana for the annual Thornton Homecoming. While the festivities did not kick off until Thursday night’s youth rodeo, members of the Thornton Chamber of Commerce have been hard at work on the preparations since last year. “As far as organizing, it was a group effort,” Chamber Treasurer Carla Robison said, “but as far as going above and beyond redoing the rodeo pens, was Kenneth Copeland, Johnnie Wilson, Randy Franklin and so many more.”
