Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus will swoop into Hallettsville at noon Saturday marking the start of the 17th annual Festival of Lights.

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service of DeWitt, Gonzales and Lavaca counties, and the Beef and Forage Committees of each of the three counties on Thursday will sponsor the annual Tri-County Beef Cattle Symposium.

Volunteers are gearing up for the 61st annual Sacred Heart Apple Strudel Bake in Hallettsville on Oct. 27. Workers will wash, core, cut and shred apples to prepare the strudel filling for more than 2,600 strudels made in this one-day event.

There is beauty to be found in everything. It's all about perspective and the willingness to view almost anything in a different way, a different 'light, if you will. The oilfield has once again become a very visible and dominant force in south Texas as of late. There will be an oilfield art exhibit at the Englein Haus, 115 N. Main Street in Hallettsville  this weekend.

If you are into history, particularly genealogy, then you don't want to miss the genealogy symposium in Halletsville on May 19th. This should prove to be a great help in finding  and using historical information you are looking for.

I remember when I first moved to this part of the country, one of the first places I went was to the 'Fiddlers' Frolics' at the K.C. Hall in Halletsville. What I remember most is the great music, delicious food, and friendly people. If you want to have a great time with your entire family, I highly recommend this weekend of fun.
