Marvin Gilbreath arrived in Weimar in 1938 with 15 cents looking for a job. After hard luck and odd jobs, he started his own produce business buying and selling chicken eggs. In 1940, he bought a small produce company and decided to not only buy the farmers produce, but to sell them feed and supplies. In 1942 he started grinding his own feed from grain bought from the local farmers. The M-G Farm Service Center site was purchased in 1943 and in 1944 he converted an old cotton warehouse into a feed plant. Over the years, the feed mill and farm store were expanded to accommodate the growing business. The Farm Service Center provides farm and ranch service, lawn and garden, hardware, pet supplies, sporting goods and food products.

L
Loosely translated from German, the word gedenke means think of or remember; thus the festival is held in hopes local residents will remember their hometown and attend the festival. The festival includes games for all ages, a biergarden, several live bands, a parade, arts and crafts, a barbecue cook-off, and a 5k fun run/walk. There is no charge for admission or parking. Our beloved festival grew from the combination of several local festivals and is now the city’s main celebration each year on Mother’s Day weekend. One of the first annual celebrations in Weimar was the Cucumber Carnival, held in 1940 and 1941. The Texas Pickle Company operated in Weimar for over 30 years and, at one time, over 300 acres of cucumbers were planted in the immediate area. The Cucumber Carnival was an all-day celebration that featured a parade, bathing beauty contest and queen coronation, among other activities. The festival was cancelled in 1942 due to the outbreak of World War II
and was never held again. In 1973, Mrs. Betty Seifert chaired a committee that planned and successfully celebrated the city’s centennial. While the festival was a great success, it was not continued in future years. However, for several years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Lions Club held a celebration on Post Office Street complete with carnival rides and games. In addition to the Lions Club, the Weimar Garden Club began the Jackson Square Festival as a means to raise money for landscaping around the new Gazebo. The ladies invited various local organizations to sell everything from homemade ice cream to sausage-on-a-stick. Although it was a successful fundraiser, the festival lacked a proper carnival. The answer was to combine the Lions Club carnival with the Garden Club’s festival and christen it Gedenke! Photos courtesy of The Weimar Mercury.

LA GRANGE
Meet "e Neighb$s Visit the surrounding area when you stay in Weimar. SHERIDAN
LA GRANGE – La Grange is nestled along the
Colorado River and features history, beauty, festivals, museums, concerts, antiques, air shows, feasts, and an annual county country fair. Drive only 22 scenic miles to visit Monument Hill & Kreische Brewery State Historic Sites, Sites 414 State Loop 92. Open daily; the park is free to the public. Photo by Tara Stech. SCHULENBURG
SHERIDAN – Although there are many great reasons to travel
25 minutes south to Sheridan, Splashway Waterpark and Campground is a popular destination that you won’t want to miss. In addition to state-of-the-art waterslides and wave pools, Splashway offers cabin rentals, RV sites, tent sites and cottage rentals.
SCHULENBURG - Schulenburg is the official home of the painted churches and is only 12 miles east of Flatonia. Plan your visit around one of the area’s church picnics, Sausagefest, the Schulenburg Festival or during the beauty of Christmas. The Annual Wine Walk is always the first Saturday in November, 90 Miles on 90 – literally 90 miles or garage sales and thrifty finds – is the first weekend of June. Wino Bingo is held every February and September, and the Schulenburg RV Park hosts a monthly jam session.
COLUMBUS
COLUMBUS - Travel a short 26 minutes west down I-10 and you’ll discover
Columbus, a progressive town that holds tight to its unrivaled historic roots. A popular attraction featured on The Texas Bucket List, Columbus’ Santa Claus Museum, is the only Santa museum in the South. With over 3,000 Santas Museum decking its halls, is a Christmas lover’s dream. Columbus’ War Memorial Museum is dedicated to Colorado County’s veterans of all wars and is on the list of Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks. The Alley Log Cabin and Antique Tool Museum has been preserved since the Texas Revolution. This oak cabin houses tools, furnishings and artifacts. The Dilue Rose Harris House Museum is a unique “tabby” style home featuring furnishings and collectibles dating back to the 1850s. Museums are shown by appointment only; 979-732-8385.
