DRIPPING WEEKEND

The Heritage Gala for the Dr. Pound Pioneer Farmstead kicks off tonight at 7:00PM on Friday on the grounds of the farmstead. Last word was the event is sold out, but they were taking a waiting list. To check on walk-up ticket availability, you might want to call Shelley Hill at (512) 560-9049 first to make sure tickets are available. For more on the event visit drpoundpioneerfarmstead.com.

The 2nd Annual Mayfest in Driftwood is from 10:00AM - 4:00PM on Saturday on the grounds of the Driftwood United Methodist Church. The spring festival features music, food, vendors, and more.
We go to any event where Edith Eckols has made something for the bake sale, and we have confirmed she is in charge of the bake sale this year. Hooray! Also our cousin Judy, she of the magical green thumb, let us know she will be selling some of her (huge) greenhouse plants at bargain prices. Learn more about Mayfest here (event PDF). The church is located at the intersection of Elder Hill Road and RR 150.
 
From 11:00AM - 4:00PM on Saturday, the 52nd Annual Henly Homecoming brings together Henly's past and current residents at Henly Baptist Church (Fellowship Hall). The first event was held in 1957 with 300 folks in attendance. After a dip for a few years, last year  the reunion ramped back up with 150 people celebrating the day.
