Fayetteville, TX - A Well Kept Secret

Art show number three took place in Fayetteville, a very quaint little town in east Texas (near La Grange).

This is our second year to do this show. It takes place on the town square. Because of that setting, it is very easy to set up and tear down the display. The folks who put on the show do a great job and work hard to take care of the artists. Lots of "Houstonites" have second homes in Fayetteville and they come to the show. Visitors from Austin and other towns near Houston, come as well. Their is usually a bike race early on Saturday morning. The riders come to the show once they are back from riding.

Last year, we spent Friday and Saturday night at the very old, local hotel. It was right above a restaurant, so we were awakened by the smell of coffee and bacon early in the morning. Unfortunately, thast hotel burned during the year, so this time we spent our nights in a great little bed and breakfast. The house was quaint, and well maintained. However, things were a little on the small side. Philip banged his head often on the low door frames!

All of the buildings around the town square, as well as many houses in the community have colorful trim or bright background color. Here are just a few pictures.
