TEMPLE (February 21, 2013)--The Bend O' the River Ranch, located at 7915 S. General Bruce Drive, is now available to the public for rent.

Area residents and visitors may now rent the ranch for special events, get togethers, and meetings.

The thirty-acre ranch was donated to the City of Temple by the Talasek family in 2011.

Since the donation, Temple Parks and Leisure Services began working on the ranch to make it available to the public.

Hourly rates are available for $150 for the first 4 hours with an additional $100 for each additional hour. Decorations are also available for $100.

Renters may be required to pay for their own security at some events.
