Wish all the Teams hunting the TDHA tournament the best this weekend....stay safe, and see ya'll on Sunday.
For anyone else that's gonna be there.....I'll be there for the most part both days....Will be walking around the big black/white dog with cropped ears and a white "W" freeze brand on his back left hip....stop me and say hi....would love to put faces with screen names and talk dogs and hogs.
Ya'll be safe coming to Hallettsville!
Being that Hallettsville is my life-long home town here is some inside info:
Best Hotels:
The BEST WESTERN on the south side of town is nice but pricey and it is hard to communicate with the attendants unless you speak Hindi.
There is a new Hotel on 77 north of town just a few hundred yards from the EXPO turn-off. I stopped there yesterday and they were putting the finishing touches on everthing in order to open up today for the first time.....will it be done on time?...who knows......prices were suppose to be around $75 per night and it is very NICE.
Best FOOD:
Jalisco's MExican Food
Simple Simon's PIZZA
Mariachi Mexican Food
Kountry Bakery (good burgers)
Wietings BBQ
Restraunts to AVOID:
Werner's (formerly Original Smokehouse & Oakridge Smokehouse)
Bel-Air
HELPFUL TIPS:
There is a leash-law in Hallettsville so keep your dogs in their kennels or on a leash. The EXPO grounds are in the city limits so this applies there as well as all the city parks.
I am the Sergeant for the Hallettsville Police Department and my guys work a LOT of highway interdiction which means they make a lot of traffic stops looking for dope, guns and money heading to and from Mexico. Definately obey the speed limits and all other traffic laws. We have a unique system in place that turns each ticket over to the court once it is written so that means I cant make a ticket disappear if you get one...DONT ASK!
Fuel is usually exactly the same all over town so whatever store your looking at is probaly the best deal you'll find.
If you need anything or get lost give me a call......My cell: 361-772-8023
