Do you need to get out of the Big City for a while?

Well, come out to the rural life on Saturday, March 8, 2025

And we’ll show you a good time in La Grange TX

Attend a Texas tea party in a historic home

• you will hear about the family who lived there in 1850-1950
• what women did for fun back then
• dress in your favorite Texas summer party attire

We will take you to the courthouse square in small town Texas for the Farmer’s Market, shopping boutiques, coffee and wine cafes, all in old buildings with views of slower life passing by. Then exhibits, food tasting and a “groovy” drink.

But wait – we’re not done. You’re just in time to go to the Best Little Cowboy Gathering. We will listen to some Texas Swing played by Billy Mata and any fiddler who happens to come to the stage.

Oh, and DANCING! Texas is all about the dancehall.

So, COME start the FUN on Saturday March 8 at 12:00 pm 

Park in downtown La Grange, in the open parking lot at 145 S. Washington (next to the Fayette County Record)

Go to the Farmer’s Market on the Square

Enjoy a coffee by one of the sellers and buy a jar of pickles or jam

Shop the boutiques, sit at a sidewalk café, stroll the neighborhood
