Airing of the Quilts a success NEXT EVENT Flag Day Car Show Events





We had beautiful weather for the annual Airing of the Quilts here in Huntsville. The breezes were wonderful for the event. Quilts were everywhere around the Square. We had a huge crowd, mostly ladies who were here for the viewing, judging and selling of quilts. If you missed it, remember next year(and every year) the first Saturday in May.
I am back to work now planning for our next event, the Flag Day Classic Car Show event
here on the Square. It is to be June 14 with the parade at 9am and the events following.
Don't miss this 1950's event. Show your kids what the 50's were like. We expect several car clubs to participate. In addition there will be a DJ all day playing the 1950's favorites and conducting dance contests. At 11 am we will have a 1950's style show with models wearing authenic 1950's apparel. After lunch of hot dogs and cokes, you can enter a hula hoop contest or other activity or just sit at the gazebo and listen to the oldies. The judging of the cars will be at 2pm. Trophies will be presented at 3 pm.

There are 5 other antiques shops here on the historical courthouse square as well as Farmhouse Sweets and Eats which is a soda fountain type cafe serving daily specials as well as the best briskit tacos, chicken noodle soup like you have never had before, and wonderful chicken salads. They serve ice cream, banana splits, sodas, and candies made on location. As for eating places, there is also the Texan, a 1930's cafe with Texas food favorites such as pepper fried steak, chicken fried steak and a huge hamburger. See picture of Texan Restaurant at end of blog. We have two other restaurants around the Square which are Cloud Nine which is a coffee shop and health food store as well as serving up some great healthy sandwiches and soups, and The Stardust with a full restaurant and club.
Their specialities include great hamburgers and tavern foods as well.

A restored theater has community plays and classic movies shown as well as our own version of American idol every year.
There is lots going on here. It's called the Old Town Theatre.

There are two museum houses available for tours, the Gibbs Powell House from the 1850's and Wynne House from 1880's.

Of course, there is in addition to the Square other sights in town which include the Veteran's Museum, Sam Houston Statue, Prison Museum as well as Sam Houston Museum.
Sam Houston is buried here in Huntsville and you can tour his gravesite as well as two Houston homes at the Sam Houston Musuem grounds. Walk around and see places where he sat and whittled around the Square.
There is camping and water sports at the State Park and Lake Livingston nearby.

Come to see what we have and make it a day or weekend.
