oliver2-44 9,881 #1 Posted April 12, 2016 While this isn't a huge tractor show it is a good time and friendly folks, and maybe a stop in the store for a cold Pivo. and a tour of of a historic painted church I plan to be there with 1 or 2 of my garden tractors. It would be great to meet some of the Texas Garden Tractor crowd there. @motor12 @bob's toy @bowtiebutler956 @jelijah @Bassquack @Djstone @i44troll @817bsgs73 @samiam @Boots I grew up in Fayette County and have a some family living near Moravia In my youth, my grandfather from nearby Schulenburg would drive to the Moravia store for a cold " Pivo" and to play dominoes with friends Us kids would play pool or run around outside....good memories. Moravia is a old German Czech settlement "spot" in the road between Schulenburg and Hallettsville,Tx It is about 2+/- hours from Houston, San Antonio and Austin The historic Moravia Catholic Church is also very nearby and is one of the "Painted Churches of Texas". The interior is hand painted to look like marble columns, angels, saints and Jesus on the ceiling, it's worth a visit even without a tractor show <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g56640-d2460464-i144486386-Painted_Churches_Tour-Schulenburg_Texas.html#144486386"><img alt="" src="https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/08/9c/af/f2/painted-churches-tour.jpg"/></a><br/>This photo of Painted Churches Tour is courtesy of TripAdvisor South Texas Wheel Spinners & Crank Twisters Moravia Fest By donna - Posted on 23 February 2016 Event Type: Antique Farm Events Event Date: 04/30/2016 Contact Person: Mark Hermes Event Email: mark.hermes@yahoo.com Event Website: http://www.redbirdtx.com Event Location: Moravia, TX United States See map: Google Maps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Sparky 526 #2 Posted April 12, 2016 Spent some really good times in TX., thanks to Uncle Sam. The most in Del Rio. I was there when Nixon cut the ribbon on the Amistad Dam. I'll bet there's some big cat fish in there now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,881 #5 Posted April 29, 2016 Well we've gone from drought to wet times in Central Texas, and the last 2 weeks have been really busy at the Dams where I work, and working this weekend. Regrettable I won't be making it to this Moravia Tractor Show this weekend. I hope to meet up with some of ya'll Texas guys in the future. @motor12 @bob's toy @bowtiebutler956 @jelijah @Bassquack @Djstone @i44troll @817bsgs73 @samiam @Boots I always say our 1940 dams are like an old fancy Victorian house. We've done a lot of major refurbishment but just like when you finish remodeling that old house, you learn the sewer line out to the street is leaking...and is made out of asbestos pipe! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob's toy 32 #6 Posted April 30, 2016 Yes, we are about to get more rain tonight and tomorrow here in Houston. Going to fire up the Kohler tomorrow. First run on gas. My 1267 is going together great.
