If you’re coming to ManorFest, we’re easy to find. From Austin drive East on Highway 290 for about 9 miles. You’ll cross over the recently completed Highway 130 and then pass through a light at Parmer Lane. The next light is in downtown Manor. Take a right there and follow Mueller until it turns into Lexington. You’ll see the park on the left and if you keep going 3 more blocks you’ll see the Lions Club on the left. The festival runs for four blocks from the Lions Club to the Park on Burnet St, which is one block East of Lexington. If you’re coming from the East, you’ll approach Manor on Highway 290. You’ll come to a light at FM973. Take a left at the next light after that, which is in downtown Manor. From there follow the directions above. The Parade route will be along Lexington from the railroad tracks to Mueller and it takes off at 10am. The Barbeque events are at the Lions Club. Kids games are at the Park. The Craft Fair is on Burnety between the Lions Club and the Park. We’ve done up some maps of the downtown area of Manor and the specific area where the ManorFest activities are taking place. CLICK HERE to see a map of downtown Manor. CLICK HERE to see a detailed map of the area where the fest is including numbered locations for craft fair booths. If you’re a vendor and did not get your booth number either by email or by phone, please call me at 512-656-8011 and I’ll give it to you, or you can get directions to your booth on Saturday.

It’s not strictly a baked good, but in response to popular demand we’ve added Salsa as a sixth category for our bake-off. If you want to enter your salsa, bring it and turn it in by 10am Sunday at the Lions Club along with the regular baked goods. We’ll announce winners around 3pm.

With ManorFest less than a month away preparations are going pretty well. We’ve updated a couple of the forms. If you haven’t sent in your Craft Fair application, BBQ entry or gotten your BakeOff forms, new versions are available. We’ve also extended the deadline for early registration for BBQ and Craft Fair applications until the 15th of September. After that you can still register, but the price will be slightly higher. If you’ve already sent in your forms we’ll be sending out confirmations two weeks before the fest. The fest is the first weekend in October (the 3rd and 4th). It should be a little cooler and is going to have a lot fewer scheduling conflicts - no ACL Fest and no Pecan Street Festival. For those who want to get a head start, here are the forms (updated 2008 versions). We’ll be doing mailings about the fest as well, if you prefer to wait. I’ve put the various forms associated with Manor Lions Fest events online so that you can download them and print them out. They are in PDF format which should open and print from just about any browser. Here they are: General Information Flyer Any of these forms can be returned to us with the appropriate fees prior to the indicated deadlines. Just send them to Dave Nalle, 7609 Nez Perce Tr., Manor, TX 78653 Send any questions through email. Or call 512-276-7352. I look forward to seeing you at ManorFest.

Our first Fish Fry for the fall is coming up next month on September 5th. As usual, plates will be $7.50 with lots of fish, french fries, hushpuppies, coleslaw, beans and iced tea. A true seasonal feast. Everyone is welcome to come from one end of Manor to the other and from the farther reaches as well. We’ll start serving fish at 5pm and wrap things up at 8pm. Bring the family, bring relatives, bring freinds, bring the whole community. Dave Filed under: Uncategorized Comments: None |

Braving truly seasonal cold and rain we’re going to be holding our final turkey shoot for the season this Sunday (November 25th) starting at 2pm. We’re hoping that all our shbooters will show up to end the year with a glorious shoot. But be prepared for some challenging conditions. We’ve been pretty lucky until now, but the forecast for tomorrow promises some refreshing cool weather - a relief from the heat we’ve had. With a little luck the wet weather that started the weekend will clear up and the sun will emerge and it’ll be a perfect day. Hope to see you there. Dave Filed under: Uncategorized Comments: None |

Turkey Shoot season took off with a bang last weekend. It was hot but we had a good turnout and a lot of fun. Yours truly hit the most targets, much to the dismay of some of the usual stars. As some of you know, we’ve increased the price of the rounds for the first time in more than a decade, but the good news is that we’ve also increased the size of the prize meat by about a third, so it’s still a pretty good deal. The shoots are going to continue every Sunday at 2pm through the end of November. Dave Filed under: Uncategorized Comments: None |

This week we’re in a big push to get sponsors for the festival. Sponsors can donate to support the fest in general or a specific event to which their name will be applied. Event sponsors will be mentioned on our poster, have a sign at the event they sponsor and be featured on the official t-shirt. General sponsors will be on the t-shirt and may be on the poster depending on the level of sponsorship. If you need a sponsorship form just CLICK HERE for the PDF version which you can print out.

This monday (the 9th) is ladies night at the Manor Lions Club. Members and their significant others (some actual ladies, some more manly) are all invited to attend. We’ll have a limited program of business, but it’s mostly a social gathering for club members, friends and family. The night will include a fine meal of chicken fried steak, salad and mashed potatoes with lovely homemade cakes for desert. Filed under: Uncategorized Comments: None |
