5 on FRIDAY: Aug 23-25, 2013

You made it through another week - congrats! Now it's time for one last summer fling with the family before school starts! Here are some ideas for things to do in the Brenham/Washington County area....

1) Another chance to ride Brenham's antique carousel at Fireman's Park - FREE! Join in the fun from 6:30-8pm on Friday.

2) Live music at Nathan's BBQ, The Stone Cellar, Buffalo Creek and The Kenney Store - check the calendar for details for the night you want to listen in. (And we just found out there will also be a band playing at Yumm! Sweets & Eats in Downtown Brenham on Saturday at 7pm!)

3) Fanthorp Inn in Anderson is hosting "Music Makes a Celebration" - a look at 1800s period music, instruments, and dance. Come learn about the authentic Stagecoach Inn, take a ride on the Stagecoach, and see what life was like way back in the day. Music presentations are Saturday 11-3, but the grounds are open Sat & Sun 9-3:30.

4) One more week to see life-size versions of toys from 300 years ago. A fun, hands-on experience for all, these toys can be seen and played with at Star of the Republic Museum at Washington-on-the-Brazos. Open Fri, Sat & Sun 10-5.

5) Go swimming at the Blue Bell Aquatic Center (Sat 10-5, Sun 1-5). Play mini golf, laser tags, climb the wall, ride the go-carts and more at Horseshoe Junction (Fri noon-11pm, Sat 10am-11pm, Sun noon-9pm). And grab a scoop of your favorite flavor in the ice cream parlor at Blue Bell (Fri 8-5, Sat 10-4).

Enjoy the weekend and we'll see you soon!
