It’s time to break out your beads, hats, waterproof camera and mark the weekend of July 25, 26, 27th. That’s right, it’s time to Fandango! After 16 years, this event continues to draw friends from all over the country. We will start at 4:30 Friday in legendary Gruene Hall for the Letterman’s AssociationHappy Hour. What better place to start the weekend than at the “Oldest Dancehall in Texas.” At 6:30, we will then head down the street to Bubba’s Big Deck located right on the Guadalupe River. Later in the evening, we will have the ceremonial “lighting of the pit” by Big John Marsh.
This year’s headquarters will again be Gruene Outpost www.grueneoutpostlodge.com and Amigo Mel’s Outfitters, www.amigomels.com Mel and the gang have done an outstanding job taking care of us through the years. You can’t beat an outfit that knows how to handle a float of this magnitude and take care of our party needs at the same time. Heck, Mel and his crew are Fandango family!
Saturday morning our buses will depart Guadalupe Outpost at 11:30. We will then shuttle to Gruene, pick up toobs and start enjoying day. The float should last approximately 4 hours. It will end up at the Guadalupe Outpost where everyone will enjoy Big John’s BBQ at the TCU Lettermen’s Pit. Later in the evening, 9pm, we make our way to Gruene Hall to see Roger Greager’s Birthday Show. Please order your tickets on June 26th at 1pm. This show will be sold out.. Cost is $25.00 and it will be well worth it. https://tickets.gruenehall.com/Event.asp?EventID=513
Sunday at noon we will put down a few breakfast tacos at El Nopalito (12 noon) and then close the afternoon at Bubba’s Big Deck! So let’s get ready to Fandango! There’s no better way to beat this Texas heat and relax with your friends. Pack your ice chest (no glass), put on some sunscreen, and get ready for a weekend…Froggy style.
