This has been a banner weekend for Salado filled with excitement. One clear indication was the success of Christmas in October. Not only did it do well, the shop owners in town did well. Not only did the shop owners do well, the events were spectacular. If you have been reading the Blog, you have been following some of the events. Celebrate these events:
1. ARTIST'S RECEPTION for PATTY THOMAS
at the Salado Winery Co. & Salado Wine Seller
Ms. Thomas, a Temple resident, studied art at the Texas Schools of Fine Arts in Austin and graduated with a degree in fine arts from Abilene Christian University.
She has owned a graphic design company, painted furniture and murals, and sold her paintings in galleries. Ms. Thomas loves to paint Central Texas landscapes that highlight big skies, winding roads, and beautiful views of our area.
As she puts it, "Today we seem to be caught in such busy, every-minute-filled lifestyles. My paintings are intended to move us toward a calmer, less stressful pace for everyday living."
In November, Salado Winery Co. and Salado Wine Seller will celebrate 10 years of business in Salado. According to the owners, the last two years have seen the business increase and continue to grow.
2. Auditions at Tablerock for Fright Night and Christmas Carol
Saturday, 10 Oct and Sunday, 11 October, auditions are/were being held at Tablerock for this years Fright Night and Christmas Carol. People just kept coming to read a part for the performances. Wow were they good! These two events must be on your calendars.
Actors awaiting their turn to read. The empty chair belongs to the one who is reading. Behind this table are people standing, filling out paper work, and waiting their turn.

Trying out for a part -- giving your best shot to be chosen.
She's a writer, an artist, an organizer, and now she wants to be an actor.
3. And then there was Zoe (pronounced Zoey) in Dee's Antique Mall . . .
She heard the ocean in the shell! May she always have the wonderment, excitement, and surprise of a child -- even when she is a 100.
4. Oh, yes, this cat says it all . . . .
"What a day. A cat cannot even enjoy a restful moment. So much happening -- and all I want is a saucer of milk and a good nap!"
