First the pictures for Butch Crofts: He needs pictures of people or children who have volunteered at the Blanco County Fair and Rodeo over the 80+ years of the event. If you took a picture of someone in your family during this event please contact MR. Butch Crofts but remember looking for volunteers who worked at the Fair and Rodeo only.
Second photos need: This is of the Lester Courts, Mobley Motel or now the Blanco County Inn(Same Place) and if you know who started the Lester Courts history please contact Linda Howard at 830-833-4971. We believe the Courts were built in 1932? Need your help Blanco.

Project three: The Blanco County Historical Commission is doing a pictorical book of Blanco County. We need all sort of pictures examples are parades, special events, structures, windmills, sporting events,schools, weddings, plays,conferences, water sports, rodeos, homecomings and etc. We will select the 220 which represent Blanco County doing what we do .
