Spent the day hiking around Fredericksburg for the day. We wrapped up our day trip by walking…read morearound Main Street, tasting some delicious food and beverages. Along our walk, we encountered many shops, but none like Talk of the Town. This place is AMAZING! There are some great geodes varying in size and colors. But what caught my eye, was the beautiful selection of blown glass pieces. Mark, was so attentive and patient, as I tried to decide between two pieces. In the end he made me a deal I could not pass up and purchased both of them. Furthermore, Mark gave us some time to finish our walk while he meticulously wrapped and boxed up my purchase for a safe trip back home. I certainly recommend you take some time and visit Mark! The place is gorgeous and the pricing is beyond fair. I look forward to my next day trip out there to look at some more items. Thank you for the great customer service and excellent experience! We will be back!!

Mind Body Activation Oct 26-28, 2024…read more Qigong Breathing Healing Lymphatic Draining training Myospiral Release training I've trained with this company before that typically hosts it's workshops in hotels across the country. They decided to revamp workshops taking them out in nature to pavilions. Interesting choice! Unfortunately for us, Central Texas was still in a heat wave at the end of October. The first day was unbearable for us by the afternoon. Although the huge big fans on the ceiling helped, we could have really used those huge mister fans as well. Our Pavillion experience: I am going to start the grumpy old man... event manager I guess would be a good title for him, or land manager, or maintenance man. Typical German grumpy old man. And when I say old, he's probably closer to my age. None the less, grumpy. I can bring up the German part too, as my father grew up in Fredericksburg, a hundred years ago. My dad and his dad probably knew each other, you know small towns. The Germans are known as "Square Heads". Stubborn, and don't like outsiders. So back to the story... by second day, I had to go find him. We were out of hand soap, paper towels, and toilet paper. WTH?! They were out of soap?... really? You have a 3-day event booked and you don't make sure that all this is prepped up in advance?! By the third day, there was hand soap plus all the paper products just left on the counter for us to fend for ourselves. Ridiculous. Bathrooms were not maintained and cleaned. This dude was worthless. He just wanted to ride around on his cart and cut tree limbs... didn't want anything to do with us wo-wo hippy looking folks. Epic fail. 0 stars for the grumpy old man. The pavilion itself is beautiful with beautiful views. The traffic noise is distracting. The screens that go up and down are absolutely killer! They help keep the pavilion cool when down, or lift up for that breeze to flow through better. There seems to have been a kitchen as well. I would recommend the venue for events... just be sure to check on who's in charge of event maintenace making sure there is someone willing to make sure event is well ran.
