Jammin’ on the Lawn, SAT AUG 7th

Saturday, August 7, 2010, 4-7 pm

Come down to Salado for a fun Saturday!  First, swing by Pace Park for the 44th Annual Art Fair.  The Art Fair will be open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Aug. 7 and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Aug. 8 p.m. Art strollers will be able to enjoy live music being performed in the park pavilion. Refreshments will be available throughout the grounds of the fair.
Admission is $5 for adults and children under 12 are free.

When you get hot & tired and thirsty for some Texas wine, head our direction for Jammin’ on the Lawn.  We’ll have the Leisure Seekers (the band formerly known as Harebilly) from 4-7 pm.  If the weather is nice they’ll play outdoors, but if it rains, is too windy, or too hot which is likely, we’ll have the music indoors.  Feel free to bring snacks, lawn chairs and money for their tip jar.  All alcohol must be purchased from us.

After that, you might enjoy Adelea’s on Main where they’ll be celebrating their 2nd anniversary with a picnic on the lawn and classic rock performance by the band Steering South.  If you prefer indoors, we highly recommend “Fools Gold” at the Silver Spur Theater.  In their sixth annual original melodrama, the peaceful village of Salado succumbs to an outbreak of Gold Fever, brought on by the villainous Larsen E. Sneedhearne. Can Ranger Grainger save Goody Goody and the Salado citizenry from the peril that ensues?  Look for the scene featuring Yoga & Wine at Salado Wine Seller!
