The first CRAZE DAZE event! June 17-19, 2010 in Winnsboro, Texas

Anita Williams - Saturday, June 12, 2010

This is the first CRAZY DAYS event and it is HOT! HOT! HOT! 

Some merchants are selling select products at cost.  Others have some giveaways or other fun surprises.  Winnsboro has a very compact downtown, so it’s easy to stroll from one participating merchant to another.  CRAZY DAZE runs from Thursday-Saturday, June 17-19.

3rd Friday means there will be artists selling their pieces from their booths outside the historic Depot.  You never know whether there will be paintings, sculpture, jewelry or performance art.  3rd Friday is on Friday and Saturday.

Some of the merchants have gotten together and created something that is part performance art and part CRAZY DAZE to add some zip to the event.  It’s called the Winnsboro Merchants Shopping Cart Drill Team.  And it’s hilarious fun to watch.  There’s a video on the Art & Espresso facebook page.

Winnsboro Center for the Arts typically ties in with a special art-related event as well.

While the women indulge in a shopping frenzy, the men can relax at Art and Espresso, the coffee shop that’s the social center of downtown.  Or they can settle into the cool of Brewbaker’s Pub where they can watch televised sports.  There are also great Ribs and BBQ at CiboBQ for lunch.  Plan to have dinner at Double C Steakhouse or Cibo Vino Italian Restaurant.

3rd Friday and CRAZE DAZE is planned as a monthly event year-round.  If you sign up for the free Weekend Planner at the site, you will also receive the monthly mailing that details the CRAZY DAZE offers.

Winnsboro Shopping Cart Drill Team Debut!

I warned you that our merchants will get a little nuts when it comes to creating some fun downtown. And now I have proof positive in the video Stephen Marshall shot which is posted at facebook on several personal pages! 

Follow the link and see if you can keep from smiling!

The merchants participating included Art and Espresso, CopperLeaf Spa, The Leaves apartments, Jeb Sales, and Brewbaker's Restaurant and Pub.

And yes, they'll be back again for the monthly 3rd Friday Art Festival Event, June 18-19 as part of the Crazy Daze promotion.  (Crazy Daze will be Thursday-Saturday.)

Two new ways to stay connected with Winnsboro - YouTube and facebook.

Anita Williams - Sunday, May 23, 2010
As you probably know, there are many videos about Winnsboro on YouTube.  We've gathered about 80 of those videos on a channel of our own. 

That, of course, is only the beginning.  You can recommend videos and we'll "favorite" them so they show up on the channel.  Subscribe if you like, or just drop by and browse now and again.

Or, if you shoot videos at events, when you're relaxing at the lake, or just taking a walk in the pines, alert us and we'll add them to the collection. We want people to see the lifestyle we enjoy in our corner of East Texas.
