AND... Brandon Rhyder will be playing LIVE at Legend's Billiards in Downtown Brenham. Tickets are $10 and the show starts at 8pm on Saturday. Contact Smitty's for more info at 979.251.7665.

2) Indulge in a delicious dinner at a cozy, remote place... R-Place! Every Saturday night Randy fixes up a wonderful meal. This week he'll be grilling 14-16 oz. U.S.D.A.

5) Washington-on-the-Brazos IS OPEN nearly every day of the year, including weekends and most holidays. Go join them in learning about Texas history, what life was like in the 1800s, have a picnic on the grounds or go geocaching! We just learned yesterday that the 300-year-old folk life toy exhibit has been extended through Sept. 30, so take the kids to see that at the Star of the Republic Museum. Talk about a hands-on experience! :-)

Remember, have fun and be safe! If you're in town Saturday and need help, we will be open 10-3, but closed Sunday and Monday. Check our website for more help, or visit Ant Street Inn in Downtown Brenham to pick up helpful guides.
