High School seniors who are planning to go to college in the fall can apply for a scholarship from the Manor Lions Club. The scholarship deadline is May 7th and awards will be announced by the end of the month. It’s not the biggest scholarship ever, but it’s a few hundred dollars per year for 4 years which can help out with some of the continually growing expenses.

It’s Turkey Shoot Season!
By Administrator | October 3, 2009
It’s fall and that means it’s time for our seasonal series of Turkey Shoots. We hold them every Sunday from the beginning of October until the end of November, starting at 2pm and usually lasting for 20-25 rounds which takes about 2 to 2 and a half hours. Our location remains the traditional prime spot at the corner of Hwy 290 and FM212 right at the stoplight on the edge of downtown Manor.
We plan to continue to shoot 15 targets a round for at least 25 rounds a day and hopefully more, but with any luck we’ll be adding some special events as well, so watch this space for news on what we’ve got planned. Rounds are going to be $3 each, but we may also shoot some bonus rounds for bigger prizes for $5 each.
The specific dates for the shoots are: October 4, 11, 18 and 25 and November 1, 8, 15, 22, 29.
Hope to see you all there.

ManorFest Arts and Crafts Vendor Information
By Administrator | October 2, 2009
After much struggle to prepare for potential weather problems we’ve got the plan worked out for the Arts and Crafts fair section of the festival. Here is a list of vendors with their booth numbers. The list is not final because some vendors haven’t gotten us all of their information yet, but most vendors should be on the list. Once you’ve found your number you can see a specific map of booth locations by clicking here and that should tell you where you are.
Vendor – Theme – Booth#
Monica Liles/Make-A-Wish – Cake Walk – 1
Thomas Adams – Air Brush Tattoos – 2
Robert Franz – Jewelry – 4
Kala Uprely – Salsa – 6

Be prepared that because of the large number of last-minute booth registrations there may be some impromptu rearrangements, but we’ll try to stick by this list as much as possible. The city has also made it difficult for us to mark the booths clearly on the street, so locations may be somewhat approximate. Make sure to check your location with a member of our staff on site before setting up. We will be there starting at 8am.

ManorFest Maps, Directions and News
By Administrator | October 2, 2009
About the Weather
There’s been some talk of the possibility of rain this ManorFest weekend. We’ve never been rained out before, but we have made some contingency plans. If the rain is light, we’ll carry on anyway. If the rain gets heavier the BBQ Cook-Off and live music will continue at the Lions Club, but the Arts and Crafts fair and kids games parts of the festival may have to be moved or rescheduled. We are planning a larger Arts and Crafts event for early next year and may move vendors to that date and expand the event.
Finding the Fest
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 N. Burney St. 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.
