Traffic along State Highway 79 through Byers will slow to a crawl June 13 as residents and visitors line both sides of Main Street from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. for the 10th annual June Fest.

Sponsored by the Byers Improvement Group (BIG), the festival offers something for everyone:  a car show, food, vendors, live entertainment and a variety of drawings for numerous prizes.  “This is the largest fest in northern Clay County,” said Andy Harding, one of the BIG members.

According to Suzanne Nelms, another member, “We wanted to do something to draw people to town, to create interest in our community and provide an opportunity for old friends and schoolmates to visit.” Other active members of BIG are Murl Nelms, Vicki Harding, Sandra English, Lindy and Deanna Choate, Jonnie Barnhill, Bob Lawrence and Murray Don Dawson.

Vendors in the past have offered for sale jewelry, arts and crafts, purses, tee shirts and more.  Booth rental will be offered free of charge this year.

The aroma of grilled hamburgers wafts along the street as the Byers Volunteer Fire Department prepares burgers, hot dogs and all the trimmings along with soft drinks and chips.  June Fest is a major fund raiser for BVFD.

Seems lately these days Texas is becoming the envy of musicians from around the world.
With the overwhelming response to “Yellowstone,” the television series, Texas once again finds itself under the microscope of the world, much like the late 1980’s TV series know to all around the globe as “Dallas.”

With that said, the musician population in Texas is beginning to grow as many aspiring performers turn their sights on Texas instead of Nashville. Meet my newly-found friend and fellow musician Grace Partridge. This youthful 19 year old has recently made Texas her new home. She began fiddling at age four in Rigby, Idaho. Grace worked her way through the National Fiddle championships in Weiser, Idaho, becoming a five-time national champion. She’s even played on the Grand Ole Opry. Still yet, her desire to become a true Texas Fiddler has brought her to the Lone Star State. I’m pretty sure we can thank Bob Wills for that.
