It is Christmas in New York, but for two young lovers, Jim and Della, the prospects are bleak, as both are out of work and penniless. But their dilemma is solved when both part with their most precious possessions (she her beautiful long hair, he his heirloom pocket watch) in order to buy presents for each other thereby creating, at least for a magical moment, an aura of warmth and giving in the cold, impersonal winter city.

Join us for a special evening under the stars inside the Martindale Social Hall, featuring the musical storytelling talents of Mark Jungers and Brock Zeman! $10 at the door. BYOB, bring a chair…
About Mark Jungers
In life and in art, Mark Jungers is a reality dealer. A trailblazing Americana singer, songwriter and musician with By god sod busting roots, Jungers lays out the perils, the pitfalls and the pleasures of life in equal measure. Accompanied by a like-minded music-making crew, Jungers uses a mixture of country, folk, rock and more to get that reality across with soul, conviction and a solid backbeat.
More at http://markjungers.com/
About Brock Zeman
When it comes to storytelling, Brock Zeman is a master craftsman. The Canada-based singer-songwriter has spent the past 12 years carving and chiseling Americana soundscapes, drawing from roots-rock and alternative country. But what separates Zeman from his contemporaries isn’t a willingness to speak truth – it’s his unwillingness to conform to the rules of Nashville and the traditional framework of genre. What gives Zeman’s stories force isn’t that he’s just singing a narrative – he’s living it…

Lavender and Bluebonnet Festival
2020-03-28 - 2020-03-29 | TX
Texas Lavender Association presents The Lavender & Bluebonnet Festival at Luling Lavender Fields. Lavender blooms at various times of the year depending on the species and location. Our first bloomers, 400 Spanish Lavender plants, will be in full bloom alongside Bluebonnets and many other native Texas wildflowers. Bring your camera!
There are small family-owned lavender farms across Texas and many of those growers will be here with their handmade natural lavender products. Meet them and learn how to find their products online and at local markets.
Enjoy many artisan vendors, music, speakers, and some great food truck cuisine. We are pet-friendly so long as pets are well-behaved and on a leash.
Situated on 12 acres of a working cattle ranch, the setting is serene and beautiful with fields of wildflowers and majestic old live oak trees. The location is also convenient, right off I-10 at the Luling Buc-ees exit, our entrance is across from Love’s Truck Stop. The parking lot is a pasture and it’s rocky, but if you look closely you may find arrow heads and tools left by tribes that used to camp here to gather flint.
Parking/Entry tickets are $10 per car ($13.35 total with tax/fees), so we encourage everyone to fill up their cars with festival-goers! No outside parking is available. Parking/Entry tickets will be available at the gate for $12, but we encourage you to buy in advance as space is limited and gates will be closed when filled. You don’t want to miss it!
Please follow our Facebook page Luling Lavender Fields to find out additional updates and information!

14th Annual Lockhart Kiwanis 5K Stampede Goes Virtual
2020-04-09 - 2020-04-12 | TX
‘Stay Home, Stay Safe’ orders prohibit gatherings of any size, but fear not – essential activities include outdoor activities like walking and running! Instead of having a physical run, the 14th Annual Lockhart Kiwanis 5K Stampeded invites participants to a new virtual run to be held Thursday, April 9 through Sunday, April 12. Money raised through the 5K Stampede are used to fund scholarships to graduating seniors. Over the last 13 years, Lockhart Kiwanis Club has given out over $120,000 to more than 100 students, and is committed to continuing its legacy.
Visit the Lockhart Kiwanis Club Facebook page for more event information.
How It Works:
The Run (April 9-12): Yes, you still run! We’ll have a window of days for you to complete your run. Be sure to record your time. Since the recommendations are that you keep 6 feet from another person, you might choose to run by yourself, or you might run a comfortable distance from your favorite running partner. You can run the course that we’ve already certified, or run your favorite route. You can even do your run on a treadmill if you like. Your course just needs to be a 1K or 5K depending on if you registered for the Fun Run/Walk or the 5K Stampeded. Participants can also use the certified 5K course which can be viewed in the discussion comments of the Facebook event page.
Registration: Online registration will be open until midnight on Tuesday, April 7. We will waive the late registration fee. 13 and older will be $25. 12 & under is $10 for the Stampede. The Fun Run will be $10 for all ages. Fees include a t-shirt and swag bag. Register using the Website link at the bottom of this page.
Teams: You may add to your team to compete in the team challenge. Remember you need 7 people to qualify for this challenge. Registration for groups: $20 per person.
The Race: Your times will still be officially recorded! The tracking website will be open for entries beginning Thursday, April 9 and will close at midnight on Sunday, April 12. Once all times have been entered, we will score the race just as normal and the results will appear the same as if all of us had run together. Submit your recorded run time using the link: https://www.racetecresults.com/Results.aspx?CId=119&RId=294
Swag and Packets: You will receive the swag bag, t-shirt and bib by mail after the virtual run is closed.
The Awards: We will mail winners awards along with the swag bags and t-shirts. Team awards will be sent to the originator of the group. We are asking that you take a picture with your award and/or team and their award (when appropriate) and post to our Facebook page.
Contact Nicole Burnett @ 512-398-2421 or nburnett@goldenagehome.com for questions regarding registration.

POSTPONED Old Settler’s Music Festival 2020
2020-04-16 - 2020-04-19 | TX
Due to current ‘Stay Home Stay Safe’ orders and guidelines surrounding COVID-19, this event has been postponed.
Old Settler’s Music Festival is an annual music festival held since 1987. The festival dates for 2020 are April 16th to the 19th in Tilmon Texas, just southeast of Lockhart, Texas. As one of Central Texas’ signature music events, the festival features americana, roots, folk, acoustic jazz and blues, bluegrass, local favorites, and award-winning artists from around the world. Camping, arts and crafts, food and drink are available.
The Old Settler’s Music Festival was first held in Old Settler’s Park in Round Rock, Texas. After the park flooded during a festival weekend, the organizers moved the festival first to Stone Mountain Events Center in Dripping Springs, Texas, and later to the Salt Lick BBQ Pavilion and Camp Ben McCulloch in Driftwood, Texas. In 2018, the festival moved to its forever home on 145 acres of rolling meadows and tree covered campgrounds. The new location is just a cd’s worth of listening from Austin, TX.
​Old Settler’s already has been widely recognized for its contribution to Central Texas culture; with over 30 bands performing for 16,000 roots-music fans each year, it is considered among the major events that help the region sustain its status as the “live music capital of the world.” And now, as it plants roots of its own on its new 145-acre property, Old Settler’s cements its status as the sole roots music and camping festival in the Central Texas area. “OSMF has become an elite musical event without sacrificing the community vibe that built it.”

Thanks to our co-sponsor, the Kyle VFW Post #12058, these proceeds will assist in providing support and resources needed for veterans and their families. Additional proceeds will enable the continued growth of GBRT’s land conservation efforts throughout the Guadalupe River watershed. So please join GBRT as we come together to enjoy a day of original Black’s Barbeque, door prizes, fun and games for children of all ages including the Kiddie Express Train, Moonwalks, Photo Booth, Face-painting and live music performed by Texas’ original country artist, Roger Creager.
