<br />
Happy 2015! Here are a few suggestions for what to do in Washington County this weekend...<br />
<br />
1) Enjoy <b>live music</b> at The Kenney Store on Fri & Sat nights. This is a fun, local hangout that serves up yummy food, cold beer, and excellent music every week. There will also be music at The Stone Cellar on Fri night. 25 tap beers, pizza and live tunes.<br />
<br />
2) Home Sweet Farm is hosting the first<b> Farmers Market</b> of 2015 on Sunday. Take advantage of the local harvest!<br />
<br />

3) Come <b>shopping </b>in Downtown Brenham. Many stores are having BIG sales! You can also purchase your wine glasses for the <a href="http://downtownbrenham.com/swirl/" target="_blank">Uptown Swirl</a> on Jan 17. Ask local merchants about this fun event.<br />
<br />
4) <b>Take a country drive</b> along FM 390, FM 1155, or any two-lane road in between. Washington County has beautiful rolling hills and farms - perfect for pictures and relaxation. If you end up in Independence, you can get out and walk around the original <a href="http://independencetx.com/BaylorPark.htm" target="_blank">Baylor University</a>.<br />
<br />
5) <b>Eat lunch or dinner in a new spot</b>. Ever been to the <a href="http://www.brenhammunicipalairport.com/index_files/page0003.htm" target="_blank">airport diner</a>? What about <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/R-Place-at-Washington-on-the-Brazos/227166464082278" target="_blank">R-Place</a>? Or the <a href="http://www.brazosbellerestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Brazos Belle</a>?

plant our corn where Pop Johnnie said amazing things have happened. He
always told us that you could hear strange voices, the voices of robbers

on a vast stretch of water, Annie recounts the strange chain of events
that left her stranded in her son’s old kayak. A doting mother, Annie is
blindsided when her son, Peter, falls in love with Julie, a passionate
environmental activist. Unable to reconcile herself to Julie’s radical
worldview, Annie struggles to keep Peter from falling further into the
young woman’s dangerous world. Climate change, S’mores and Noah’s Ark
are all onstage as Annie sets out to save her son, and unwittingly
throws herself into the path of events larger than she ever could have
imagined.</div>
