Los Texas Wranglers played the Kyle Fair and Music Festival on Saturday 10/15/11. They took some time to take a few band shots with me backstage. Very cool.

If you're in Kyle on November 5, they are going to be playing (a free show) the Dia De Los Muertos show. It's going to be a big street fair in downtown Kyle from noon - 6p.

So, this weekend was the Kyle Fair and Music Festival. It's the annual free music festival that also includes a lot of fun things for the whole family. There's a full-on carnival complete with rides and games, a BBQ contest (I heard there were over 50 teams this year), live music (I caught Granger Smith), and lots of craft, food, souvenir, and drink booths. Since I haven't posted since Friday, here's a little photographic run-down of some of the things I saw.

Paintball was pretty neat.

Bouncing... it's fun.

Kyle Fair and Music Festival Part 5 - The Booths

This is the last post from October 21st Kyle Fair and Music Fest. I had a great time and saw a lot of really good folks.
Looking forward to next year!


Not sure what school are "The Cougars" but they were there....


Not a booth.... but it was a cool looking BBQ pit.


There were a plethora of jewelry booths.


Hot DAWG they looked like they had good brats (the sausage... not the people mind you).


The Kyle Quilters were selling raffle tickets for that beautiful quilt. I actually won their quilt last year!


Last but not least... The parking was a few bucks... and these guys (the collectors) were from the Shriners... raising money for scholarships.

Kyle Fair and Music Festival Part 3 - The Carnival

There was a nice little carnival with about 7 or 8 rides and some cool games. I could have lost some money winning my wife a stuffed animal had I brought money with me...


The boat was awesome.


The funhouse looked... well... fun.


This little man learns the ins and outs of the duck game...


That tiger was calling to me...


Round and round they go... where they stop..only the operator of the machine knows.

Kyle Fair and Music Festival, Part 2 - the BBQ Folks

The bonus of taking these photos was... I got to SAMPLE! I had my weight in brisket. It was JAWSOME (jaw-droppingly awesome)
















I can't wait until next year... I'll bring my own plate!
