There's something for everyone in Burnet, Texas, 12-13 October -- a fun-filled weekend of Cultural and Living Arts, including poets, authors, genealogy research, life skills demonstrations, and storytellers. The multi-level event is sponsored by three non-profit organizations: Burnet Cultural Arts Festival, Ft. Croghan's Heritage Society and the Burnet County Genealogical Society.
The Festival kicks off Friday morning, October 12, with a Genealogy Seminar from 8-4, featuring Emily Croom speaking on 4 different research topics. Friday night features Keynote speaker Joaquin Jackson and a mix and mingle with star poets and authors.
On Saturday, from 9-4, travel back in time at old Ft. Croghan where one can see folks in period dress show what life was like in the 1850s. Visitors can meet Dragoons and Indians, frontiersmen and Republic of Texas Rangers while listening to live music all day. Also on Saturday, research will be available at the Ft. Croghan museum for genealogy buffs, where they can access original will packets, deed and district court record books, books, and original photographs. Meanwhile, meet authors, buy books, or listen to poets on Burnet's historic square.
Saturday night at the Burnet High School, see author John Erickson as he presents Hank the Cowdog in Concert. A dance with the Flashbacks (Big Band Swing music from the '40s) will follow the John Erickson performance.
