Market Days & Hockey

This weekend we celebrated a friends birthday. We started Saturday morning by going up to Wimberley, TX for their market days. It reminded me of like your local craft show or like in Fargo when they close Broadway and have booths all over along downtown. But this was bigger. And more permanent. And....bigger.

You know that saying,  "everything's bigger in Texas?" Well I am beginning to think there is more truth to it than I orginally thought.

At this market days, it is always held the first weekend of every month, March through December. Ther are paved walkways, a place for dancing and live music, and BBQ stands for food to eat. People BUY their booth spaces and have permanent sheds/shacks/buildings in the spot. They fill it with anything and everything.

For example, there was a plant stand. A place to take pictures with Santa. An iron shed. A vintage poster place. Kettle corn. Homeade clothes. Outdoor patio sets and stepping stones. Kitchen sinks from Mexico. Literally anything and everything.

It was kind of a rainy morning but we went anyway. Here are a few pictures to give you an idea....

I just liked this sign :)

After Market Days we went back and went out to eat at a Mexican Resutraunt, enjoyed a couple margaritas then headed to the San Antonio Rampage Hockey game. The Rampage are minor league hockey team, kind of similar to the Fargo Force, or what used to be the Fargo Jets I guess. But a little bigger. Not sure if it a different class or just because it is located in a city with 2 million people, OR the fact that the Spurs aren't playing yet, there were a TON of people there.

It was located at the AT&T Center, the same place where they host the majority of concerts and the Rodeo in February. It was a lot of fun, especially since Dan's favorite sport is hockey, he explained things to us during the game. Check it out!
