5 on FRIDAY: Aug 16-18, 2013

There are a variety of things happening this weekend in Brenham and Washington County! Grab the kids, furry or human, and come on over! Here's our TOP 5 suggestions for what to do this weekend in our area...

1) Live music at Nathan's BBQ in Brenham, The Kenney Store in Kenney, and The Stone Cellar in Round Top. Each night there are live music opps, so check the calendar for details!

2) Go shopping at The Brenham Flea! This weekend is the first opportunity to check out the new flea market in town. Open Sat & Sun 9-5. Future dates for the Brenham Flea are Oct 26-27 and Nov 30-Dec 1. Located at Washington County Fairgrounds.

3) Attend a period presentation at Washington-on-the-Brazos. Saturday they focus on beating the heat during the era of the Republic, and Sunday is all about water. Presentations are 11am, 1pm and 3pm - meet at the Visitor Center and arrive early.

4) Stroll the streets of Chappell Hill. There are cute shops and beautiful historical homes and buildings there. Even a tiny church! The oldest continually operating bank in Texas is there, too. You can eat lunch at Bever's Kitchen or Chappell Hill Bakery & Deli - both of which have delicious pie!

5) If you get too hot, here's an indoor backup plan! There are only a couple of weeks left to see the Toy Time exhibit at Star of the Republic Museum at Washington-on-the-Brazos, so grab the kids and head on out there to check it out! Life-size replicas of 300-year-old toys - you don't see that every day! :-)
