SEALY
SEALY - The Main Street Manager in Sealy, Chelsea Humes, is currently working on setting up the Main Street Program. This Program is due to be up and running, full steam ahead, and tailored to Sealy by November 2021. “Right now, events are being put on by the downtown shops,” added Humes. “There’s big things going on, like the downtown car show that happens every quarter. It brings people in from everywhere. There’s also Mud Bugs on Main, a big weekend for Halloween that includes Ghost Tours, and Margaritas on Main in November. All of these events are not necessarily put on by Main Street, but we’re trying to get people down there and sell shops, empty spaces, and fill them with new businesses – businesses that are going to bring more people in.” WEIMAR - Weimar’s picturesque downtown bustles with businesses, shops, great eateries, antique shops and a tavern where locals play dominoes and German card games. Be sure and check out Hatari! Wildlife Park where unparalleled adventure awaits the entire family. ELLINGER - Drive a short 15 miles northwest to Ellinger, a small community on Highway 71. While you’re there, head over to Hruska’s Store & Bakery and ask for a sauerkraut and sausage koblansky or a cream cheese kolache that will surely change your life.
