Art Exhibits in the Bryan College Station Tx Area
March 4th, 2010 Categories: Community Events
Visitors to Bryan/College Station usually come with very specific expectations in mind– namely that they’ll see an Aggie football game and take a trip to the Dixie Chicken. While those are still Bryan/College Station staples, and football plus fried chicken is still a beloved combination, the residents have expanded.
The people of Bryan/College Station are scarcely one-dimensional, and the town reflects its people; as the city grows, more and more art galleries have been emerging and revealing themselves. What’s more remarkable is the amount of artists there are to be found in the Bryan College/Station area. As art galleries keep surfacing, works from local artists have been appearing to fill the walls of the galleries.
Most recently, the relatively new Village Café and Art 979 have been proudly displaying art from a huge milieu of individuals– from Bryan, Texas to Buffalo, New York. The Village Café started out as Read the rest of this entry »

Bryan College Station Local Grocers and Farmers Market
February 26th, 2010 Categories: Community Events
Bryan College Station Farmers Market Century 21 Beal
Bryan/College Station is a very unique place. The sister cities have most everything you’d find in a big city, but alternatively it’s got quite a bit you wouldn’t. What makes it so special is the amount of farms and food producers around. This area of Texas is one of the agricultural boons of the U.S., not to mention A&M University has some of the most premier agricultural researchers. We are surrounded by some of the freshest, healthiest meats and vegetables in Texas; that makes Bryan/College Station one of the best places to shop for food. Be it our farmers’ markets, local grocers, or A&M’s meat market, you can find some of the most delicious foods in our quaint little sister cities.
HEB and Kroger’s are great grocery stores as well, but if you’re looking for fresh Read the rest of this entry »

Brazos Valley Quilt Show 2009
September 12th, 2009 Categories: Community Events
Today was the Brazos Valley Quilt Guild’s Annual Show.
WOW what a show!
There were LOTS of vendors with quilting supplies, knitting, embroidery and weaving with a few other fun things thrown in. There was a large display of award winning quilts too! I enjoyed voting on my favorite too. While I am not a quilter (YET!) I did enjoy seeing all the quilts from our Brazos Valley Quilters. I also hope I win the raffle and win the quilt shown on the left! It will look GREAT in my house.
Want to learn to quilt? The Brazos Valley Quilt Guild has several groups that meet in both Bryan and College Station – day or evening. I think I might just get involved and learn something new that will last for generations.

What Do Motorcycles, WhiteWater Rafting, Real Estate and 74 Have in Common?
September 3rd, 2009 Categories: 1, Community Events
Real Estate agents really do have a life outside selling homes. I know sometimes it seems like all we do is work (ask our families!) but we do enjoy other things too.
Today I brought a motorcycle helmet to one of our agents. Why is that a big deal? Because her birthday celebration next weekend is for her 74th birthday! Barbara Salisbury and Rhonda Fry are celebrating their birthdays together. One is turning 74 and the other is turning 47!
I asked Barbara about this adventure and she said it was exciting like her birthday 2 years ago when she went white water rafting. I hope I am doing exciting things like this on my 74th birthday!
The two will depart from Century 21 Beal on University in College Station at 1pm on Rhonda’s Harley Sportster and then we will all meet up at Bryan Ice House Restaurant at Lake Bryan.
Watch for more pictures of the event coming up very very soon!

Teen Survival Driving Academy in College Station at Texas World Speedway!
July 23rd, 2009 Categories: Community Events
Did you know…. 
- As a driver, you will make more decisions in one mile than a 747 captain does flying across country.
- Automobile crashes are responsible for more teen fatalities than alcohol, drugs and violence COMBINED.
August 16th I am sending my daughter to the Texas World Speedway Teen Survival Driving Academy in College Station.
No- she is not a bad driver. She is just a teen driver. The TWS TSDA (Texas World Speedway Teen Survival Driving Academy) is NOT a racing school! It is designed “to place students in real world scenarios and show them how to take control and avoid dangerous situations. They will work on collision avoidance and car control skills. Now that I think about it, I know a few adults (myself included) that should probably attend…
The Academy recreates dangerous situations and teaches (in a controlled environment) how to take control of the situations and make life saving decisions.
This is a 4 hour couse which includes classroom and hands on driving activities. With the instructor, the student is given tools to avoid an accident. Students are encouraged to bring their own vehicle that they will be driving on a regular basis. The activities are done at a low speed and should not hurt the car. If you don’t want to use your own car, one can be provided.
Parents are encouraged to attend the 4 hour course too!!!
So, get your teenager registered and join us. And come back to this blog again to see the photos and videos of the event. I bet we can all learn something together.
