Texas Independence Day Celebration

Park Ranger Scott McMahon sent us the following invitation:

Dear Texas Folklore Society,

I would like to formally invite your organization to attend the 2009 Texas Independence Day Celebration at Washington on the Brazos SHS in Washington, Texas. TIDC is an annual event celebrating Texas’ declaration of independence from Mexico her in Washington on March 2nd, 1836. As a part of the celebration we encourage groups and organizations who carry on the crafts and traditions of the 19th century from musicians to artisans to attend. Along with the craft demonstrations we host guest speakers ranging from Texas historians to politicians who speak on a variety of topics dealing with Texas and Texans.

 If your organization is interested we welcome you to attend. This years date is February 28th and March 1st. I am attaching a registration form but encourage you to email or call me at 936 878-2214 ext. 224 with any questions or concerns you might have. I look forward to hearing from you and hope your organization is interested in participating in our annual Texas Independence Day Celebration!

Sincerely,

Scott McMahon

Note: The TIDC is seeking participants to demonstrate 19th century folk crafts, music, and traditions during the celebration. (This year they offered a limited number of $50 stipends to demonstration groups.) They also accept some vendors. We hope to have the entrance information early enough next year for individuals or groups to participate.

Attend the celebration if you can, and pass on your impressions to other members. More information is available on their website:
