There is, of course, the lake and
all the water sports it offers, including
rides on the Granbury queen, the paddle
wheeler built for the tourist trade.
And there is the old Granbury town
square, one of the most completely
restored 19th century courthouse
squares in the state.
Even the Chamber of Commerce is housed
in the old Hood County jailhouse.
Tourist words for the restaurants
and shops here are rustic,
quaint, old fashioned.
And I like that.
And another major tourist attraction here
is one hundred year old opera house
completely restored and playing to packed
houses 11 months a year by
doing nostalgic rather than nouveau
theater.
My theory has always been, if you want to
message, go to Western Union.
You know, and I am an entertainer
and our primary purpose here is to
entertain.
South Pacific opens tomorrow
here. It follows Oklahoma and
other big music, all the cast crammed
into the three hundred and three seat
theater, which is operated in the black
since opening in 1975.
But it's the July 4th weekend that
Granbury itself considers its biggest
show of any year.
We have over 90 arts and crafts,
and this is an old fashioned July 4th
celebration in old fashioned Granbury.
It could be nothing else but
to get here. Take three seventy seven
south of Fort Worth.
Step back in time is less than 60
miles from mid Metroplex
Jack. Also Channel 5 News, Granbury.
