Once again, the Connection Church is sponsoring a great night of family entertainment. Trunk or Treat at the Cabela’s parking lot in Buda, TX features free candy, inflatable games, live music, and more! The celebration runs from 6-8pm, Oct. 31, 2011 and promises to be an evening of great fun! Please note, the City of Kyle didn’t have a Halloween event this year. The Dia de los Muertos Mariachi Extravaganza celebration at Gregg-Clarke Park (next to the Kyle Pool) features fourteen musical and dance groups, including all Hays CISD Mariachi students. Between the hours of 10am until 2pm, on November 5, 2011, the students enrolled in the Hays CISD Mariachi program, ranging from 6th grade to 12th grade, are performing Mariachi, a music that has been passed down for generations. All six Hays CISD Mariachi groups are participating in the event Lehman High School: Los Lobos Hays CISD music students are performing Mariachi, a style of music originating in Mexico. Mariachi, features a combination of violin, trumpets, classical guitar, vihuela (a high-pitched, five-string guitar), a guitarrón (a large acoustic bass guitar)and powerful, moving vocals. Mariachi has been passed from generation to generation since the 18th century. In addition, the Blanco Vista (Hays CISD) Dual Language Program teachers and students will conduct a parade though the park in traditional costumes and masks. It’s a very beautiful and touching performance for the whole family. Several special guests will also perform. Special Guests include singer Celeste Curiel, Texas State University Mariachi, Texas State Salsa de Rio, Fuentes Elementary School Glee Club, San Marcos Mariachi Academy Mariachi Bondad, Ballet Folklorico de Central Cultura de San Marcos, and Elite Fitness performing a Zumba demonstration This cultural and musical celebration featuring the young people of Kyle is produced by the Lehman High School Band Boosters. The music is part of the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) observance. Dia de los Muertos is a time to remembering deceased family members and a celebration of the love and respect we have for them. Celebrants build alters to the dead, and include favorite foods and beverages of the deceased, photos, and memorabilia. There is also $5 BBQ Chicken plate sale benefitting the Mariachi program. Pre-sale tickets can be obtained from any Mariachi student. There will be a chance to get some early Christmas shopping done at the vendor booths, plus a bounce house, games and crafts for the kids. There will be many other non-profit vendors also, including local PTA’s, and project graduation. Gregg-Clarke Park is located at 1100 W Center ST, Kyle, Texas 78640. For more information, visit www.haysmariachi.com local bed and breakfast is already getting inquires due to the impending Formula One racetrack being developed in nearby Southeast Travis County. Recently, KXAN interviewed Amy Dolan, Manager, of the Inn Above Onion Creek and Denise Marks, owner of the Marks Overlook Lodge in Buda. Both are ready for the influx of tourists. Indeed all of Kyle will surely benefit from its close proximity to the F1 track. To get to the track from Kyle, you can jump on Interstate 35 and then to toll road Texas 130. Kyle is less than 30 minutes away from the proposed site in Elroy, north of FM 812, south and west of Elroy Road and east of Texas 130. The Inn Above Onion Creek will surely benefit from worldwide interest in the race. Before anyone knew F1 racing was coming to Austin, the establishment hosted European and Japanese visitors. Maybe they visit for the pure Texas experience. Tucked away in the beautiful wooded area, the cottages let you experience Texas in a relaxed country atmosphere. Fine dining, featuring local beef raised at the Michaelis Ranch two miles down the road, and a spa, will make for a great evening of relaxation after the race. In Europe, the races are destination events. Visitors will be here at least a week or more and will have time to take in all our area has to offer. So expect to hear languages from all over the world at the Plum Creek Golf Course and many of our restaurants. The Texas Comptroller expects the economic impact of the proposed June 17, 2012 race to be $300 million, larger than the South by Southwest and entire UT Football Season – combined. To put that in perspective, consider that a Super Bowl generates around $300-$500 million of economic impact. 300,000 visitors are expected. Racetrack organizers might also schedule the first race for November 2012, to avoid the Texas heat. |
