Hico, TX...WHERE EVERYBODY IS SOMEBODY

 My first visit to the Hico Homestead Fair!!!  It is held twice a year, spring and fall.   It was awesome!!!  I hope to return...and maybe as a vendor!!!



This is the box of a shoe shiner, and this caption on his box caught on and now Hico has adopted the saying, it is on display at the Museum!

 
I met my long time friend (High School Days...) LuAnn and off we were! We stayed at the Inn at Circle T  in Hamilton, and drove about 20 mins. to Hico.  We had such fun and I was able to meet her friend JoCarol from Bunny Trails, who had a booth there as well!!! Jo Carol is precious! Her booth was awesome, so detailed and fun!!! Beautiful items, such finds!!! It was such a pleasure to meet and visit!!!
 
LuAnn and Brenda at Hico Fair!!!

The Kaboodle...in Hamilton, TX ~ This was an awesome store!  Glitz Glam and more!!!  A girls dream!  Sweet owner, Paulette McFadden, shop online @ http://www.thekaboodle.com/  or look it up next time you are in the area!!!  Paulette was  so friendly and enjoyable!  Beautiful merchandise!  Great prices too!!!!  Check it out!!!                               Shiny is fun!!!










 


Loved this Texas size spur...in where else...HICO!!!


I also re-visited the Hico Museum and made some donations from my great-grandparents documents and pictures that I had from items from their house in Meridian, TX.   Many things had HICO on them!  Sue and Jane do an awesome job in the Museum!  A must see on your next visit!  It felt so good to donate a part of history that would be preserved for years to come! 

I hope you've enjoyed a little re-cap of Hico, TX....Where Everybody Is Somebody!  Happy Trails...until next time!
