Blanco Market Days

Any April weekend is a time when just about every small Texas town has a local "market" around the courthouse. 
And Blanco, north of San Antonio, is no exception.

You can tour the old courthouse, which was turned in to a hospital back in the 1940's 

and has been decorated with some "local" metal art they are hoping to sell.

Of course, there are religious items.

People watching can be fun. 

Many bring their dogs as a weekend outing. 

Some bring all generations along.

But, what is most fun is to watch is little kids' faces.

and their anticipation of a special treat.

Of course, you can see the local crafts,

which will always include some cowboy things

and paintings by the local club.

You'll always get a chance to buy some sort of a Texas hat

and listen to real TX music.

Some have been to enough of these, 
that they wander off for some quiet time

and some take this chance to practice their own hobbies.

And while glass might not be what you'd expect to find

you can be sure that in the midst of all of this, 
there will always be an American flag!
