Obama, Peanuts, Mushrooms and Airplanes
October 16, 2009
This weekend is shaping up to be quite a weekend full of events.
Starting on Friday, Obama is in town. (which for me and my family means we’re staying home…we don’t like traffic in town)
The Presidential Forum on Service will be broadcast live on KAMU-TV on channel 12.1, Suddenlink cable channel 700 and channel 4, and on campus cable channel 82. It will also be streamed live on the web at http://kamu.tamu.edu “Watch Now” and at www.georgebushfoundation.org.
Also Friday and through Saturday – Madisonville Mushroom Festival
Wine tasting, dancing, arts, crafts, food, kids zone, 5k run/walk, auto showcase, auction…fun.
Saturday – Grapeland Peanut Festival
The festival is held every year on the second Saturday in October. The festivities include a parade held on Main Street in historic downtown Grapeland as well as food, arts & crafts booths, live entertainment and more at the Grapeland City Park.
