Really cool opportunity close to Houston this weekend!

San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site invites visitors to step into a 19th-century print shop to experience how newspapers and other publications were produced during the “Printing Perfection” living history event on Aug. 1.

From 9 a.m.–4 p.m., visitors can explore San Felipe de Austin’s working print shop and see each step of the publishing process, setting type by hand to operating the press and producing finished pages. Staff will demonstrate the techniques required to create printed materials in the 19th century.

This program is presented as part of the Texas Historical Commission’s Roam on the Range campaign. San Felipe is located off I-10 about an hour’s drive west of Houston near Sealy.

We really enjoyed having several young journalists today for our young journalist panel. It was so refreshing and enlightening to hear from Haeley Carpenter (Kerrville Daily Times), Paisley McGee and Martin Edwards (Pilot Point Post-Signal), and Shay Cuellar (Hood County News). A special thanks to Austin Lewter with Tarleton State University.

Tonight was a delicious barbecue dinner, followed by a fun art activity and bingo. Did we mention the view from this place? Lake Ray Roberts is gorgeously displayed at Lone Star Lodge and Marina in Pilot Point.

We've had great fun so far at our 99th annual convention at Lone Star Lodge and Marina in Pilot Point, Texas. A special shoutout to Abigail and Jim Bardwell who made this all come to fruition in a spectacular way. We kicked off today at a golf scramble at The Bridges Golf Club in Gunter.
