Congratulations are in order for all the visual artists and artisans whose artworks created a lovely atmosphere for this year's Hill Country Art and Wine Festival at Main Plaza.

Although the artists experienced late evening and morning showers, the festivalgoers came out in full force Saturday afternoon to appreciate the heart and soul of festival creatives from the visual artists and vintners to les boulangers, les fromagers, a master distiller and an orchardist.

If you are unfamiliar with any of these titles, we encourage you to make your plans now to participate in next year's festival.
