Good band last night but 25 people that were mostly invited by the band isn't going to bring in patrons. Loved that they offer my favorite Ranch Water and tequila but the bourbon offering was not great. Was happy to pay the $14 cover to have a nice local place but it needs some more promotions

I've lived in Kerrville for over 16 years but have never visited the Mansion. Hearing of the…read morespecial Christmas tours this week, a friend and I decided to go. This special tour benefited the Hill Country Youth Orchestra; having played in the San Antonio Youth Orchestra, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a small donation and take a tour to boot. As expected, the Mansion was decorated for the season; the garlands wrapped around the banisters were particularly beautiful. We started on the second floor, which resembles a large ballroom, with a short video presentation on the history of the place and its occupants throughout the years. A short presentation by a docent followed whereupon we were free to look around to our hearts content. Then it was down to the first floor where the two highlights were a beautiful parquet floor and a chandelier which was an original fixture of the building. There were hand-blown bulbs of colored glass which, unfortunately, could not be lit lest they burst. Then it was into the kitchen for cookies and wassail; those who wished could step out into the garden with its beautiful hand-crafted fountain. Of particular interest was a glass-pane door flanked by two large pineapple statues, the symbol in the South of hospitality. If you're in Kerrville, try to avail yourself of a tour of the wonderful home, especially if you have children with you. They can see first hand what life was like more than a century ago and come away with memories of this beautiful place.

This is a very nice museum in the Texas Hill Country. We had attempted to come here once before but…read moreit had been closed. We were happy that on this attempt we were able to go inside and see the gallery. The price is $7 a person unless you are a first responder or military. The docent did a good job of explaining the layout of the museuem and pointed out some interesting facts about the building itself as well. There are a few different sections of the library such as the painting galleries, the open floor in the beginning and the Texas history section where children can explore and interact with the exhibits. It's not a large museum but there were a lot of paintings and statues to look at. Definitely recommended. Parking is easy and there are also statues outside as well.

I suppose that as a born and bred Texan I should be ashamed to admit that I don't care for western…read moreart--well, I'm not; I just don't care for it. As I child I was inundated with images of cowboys fighting Indians which disturbed me as I'm a member of the Nez Perce Tribe. And then there were pictures of cowboys sitting by the campfire, riding the range, sitting atop a bucking horse--on and on and on. Ho Hum! So it was with some trepidation that I went with a friend to the MOWA today. He is an artist and I went mainly for the purpose of listening to him comment on the finer points of the art--shading, lighting, etc. And I was ready to see row after row of heroic cowboys slaughtering the heathen Redskin. What I found was pleasantly surprising. Yes, Native Americans were well represented, but in only one sculpture was there the typical cowboy and Indian fight. In fact, one large painting portraying the Native American ceremony of Summoning the Buffalo was as moving as it was beautiful as I remember participating in such a ceremony with I was a child. The collection is not vast but the quality of all the artwork was excellent; they were framed artfully and lit properly. Of particular interest was a wagon made by the Studebaker company--yes, the same Studebaker that generations later produced automobiles. And there are docents ready and willing to add greatly to your experience. No need to go on a group tour; these folks are there every day to make the West come alive. A word needs to be said about the building. It was the last public project designed by the noted architect, O'Neil Ford whose well-known projects in San Antonio consisted of La Villita, the Tower of Americas and Trinity University to name a few. While the exterior is indeed stunning with its heavy wooden beams and stacked limestone retaining walls, the interior has 23 boveda domes made of lightweight Mexican brick (a sample is available for handing). As you can see from the attached photo, the domes are art in themselves. So the next time you're in Kerrville--or like me, a resident--do visit the Museum of Western Art. Take it from one who doesn't particularly care for the genre--you'll enjoy it.

I experienced the Kerrville Folk Fest for the first time this year, and despite the torrential…read moreflooding, a few canceled shows, and my rig getting stuck in the mud - I still had a great time. I can't blame KFF for what Mother Nature did to us over Memorial Weekend. (Lucky for me and my gal pals, Friday's flooding brought Emmylou Harris' show right into the lobby of our hotel for an intimate, unforgettable performance.) This folk fest brings in talented musicians and song writers from all over the country for two-plus weeks, along with headliners like David Crosby and Emmylou Harris, and a TON of resources for said artists. Artists take note: You'll find seminars/workshops, like the songwriter school, ukulele workshop, legal consultation, professional development for teachers, harmonica workshops... For spectators like myself with absolutely no musical talent, there are vendors selling delicious hippie food, jewelry, clothing, massages ... and of course, entertainment. My FAVORITE part of the schedule is catching the New Folk Finalists performances. More than 800 writer-performers apply and only 32 finalists are selected to perform at the festival. Each artists performs about three songs, and with a panel of judges, six winners are announced. There is SO much talent, and I left the festival with a list of new musicians to follow. Camping is the way to go if you want the full experience. After the nightly performances, artists go around and have singalongs and gatherings at different tents/campers. Complete hippie fun. As the website says, "18 days. 100+ performers. Bring a guitar and your tent." Tent I have, talent to play a guitar, I do not ... yet. Things to know: :: Bring your own plastic cup/thermos for water stations, wine, beer, coffee, etc. They don't offer any throw-away cups; so you either have to buy theirs or bring your own. :: Bring rain boots, sandals or shoes you don't mind gettin' icky. Bare feet NOT a good idea due to the nature of the latrines. :: Sunscreen, bug spray, camp chair, and hand fan are highly recommended.

I said that last year they were $100, and her reply was its Bidens fault, so I paid for the $300. Once inside i over heard the ladies saying $100 dollars and up. Not only was I pissed, then finding out the beer tickets were $4 for 1beer. I was already in for $400, because I bought drinks for other friends. I know it's for a good cause, but the raffle ticket lady lied about the prices at the front entrance. I didn't want to buy that many to began with.

If I would of won something for $300, I wouldn't be so upset for spending too much. usually I donate the $100 and not expect something.
