I would like to welcome you on behalf of the Shamrock Economic Development Corporation and the Shamrock Chamber of Commerce. We have an aggressive Economic Development program and are extremely business friendly. Shamrock is located at the crossroads of I-40 and U.S. Hwy. 83 which makes us easily accessible to industrial shipping, commerce and tourism. Our infrastructure is comparable to that of a larger city. We are the first city heading west in Texas on I-40 and are extremely proud of our Texas heritage. We have been aggressive in the tourism industry with our multi-million dollar restoration of the U-Drop Inn Tower Station which has been featured in the Disney Pixar movie, Cars. Due to the growing population of deer, turkey and other game foul, the Shamrock area has become a favorite destination for hunters from all over the United States. We offer a free round of golf with an overnight stay at any of the 600 rooms in Shamrock’s hotel/motel district. We invite you to checkout our websites -- shamrocktexas.net or shamrockedc.org -- where you will find information about our community and what you can experience. We have a great museum and also the tallest water tower in Texas. We invite you to kick your shoes off and stay awhile and explore what Shamrock has to offer. Our city plays host to one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations in the nation, March 15-18, 2012, attracting over 20,000 visitors.

Once again, I would like to give you a big SHAMROCK, TEXAS, IRISH WELCOME.

Sincerely,

David Rushing

Director of Tourism and Economic Development • City of Shamrock
