Greetings,

There is great news to share with you this week. 

WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO BE FEATURED IN TEXAS HIGHWAYS! Praise God!

There will be some that say that Giddings is an overnight success… well the ten years of hard work that go into making and overnight success can tell you it has been a challenging road.

However, the reporter was escorted on a full day of discovery and we should see something around April or May.  Print takes time so magazines usually have a two to six month story lead.

I don’t care which issue as long as the tell our story!

Next cool thing is that we had a Japanese film crew staying in Giddings on Friday the 12th. They had originally planned to shoot a bit at the calf roping on Saturday but something came up and they had to cancel. However, we did send some visitor packages to their hotel full of great information about our town as well as a few goodies to welcome them. The Japanese love all things Texas; they know about Giddings and no doubt they'll find reasons to return the next time they want to film about Texas smalltown life.

Remember we have your "Yes! I Built This Business" sign! Show your STRIPES!  Let me know how many you want!
