Howdy!

Before Texas was a state, it was a nation: The Republic of Texas. But before it was a nation, it was part of Mexico – and on March 2, 1836, Texas declared independence and gave us all a heckuva reason to celebrate.

This is the 9th Annual Texas Independence Day Party. Just the fact that we’ve actually put this thing on over and over and over and over and over and over and over (that’s 9) makes us happy. And it should you, too. ‘Cause you’re invited. What should you expect?

Texas Food and Drink

As always, we’ll be serving all Texas-native food and drinks. If it’s not from Texas, we won’t serve it. And if you are thinking of being “nice” and bringing some food for the party that wasn’t born in the Lone Star State: thanks, but no thanks. If you’re scratching your head trying to figure out what is native Texan food, check out the Texas Food page.

Games and Prizes

This will be our 6th year to host a card tournament and this year we’ll be playing Blackjack. Everyone is welcome to play, regardless of your expereince level. It’s free to play, and the winner will walk away with a great prize and the honor of winning the Bronze Boot. There’s also a “Where in Texas” contest where you can see how many places in the Lone Star State you can identify. And we also have door prizes and other fun throughout the evening, so there’s actually something in it for you if you show up.

Texas Music and Movies

If a song has “Texas, Alamo, Austin, Lone Star, Armadillo” or anything else Texan in it, we play it. And don’t be surprised if an episode of Dallas is playing on TV.

Happy Kids

Children are welcome – we’ll have toys and movies to keep them happy and busy.

Check out the evite for info on what kinds of foods you can bring along to share with everyone. We’ll provide most of the food, but ask that everyone bring something to help feed the masses. If you have any questions, let us know. And if you haven’t been invited… let us know. You’re welcome!
