Visitors travel from around the world to view the acclaimed Hill Country wildflowers.  Normally blooming in March with peak times in April, this year's warmer than usual winter has enticed some of the beauties to make an early appearance.  Mason locals have already reported seeing the state flower, the bluebonnet, on the area back-roads around James River & Pontotoc.  You and your partner can be the first to post those beautiful wildflower shots on your Instagram page.  

Check Back in March for the Full Wildflower Report for 2020!

The 2nd Release for Winterfisch 2020 occurred the first part of February and there are still plenty of Rainbow Trout swimming the current around James River Crossing.  Grab some fishing gear and catch your dinner.  You'll enjoy the peaceful scenery of the Llano River, some friendly competition with your significant other, and hopefully a delicious Rainbow Trout dinner to finish the day.  Read some of my tips for a successful day on the Llano River!

Remember making those cute handcrafted cards as a child?  Step back in time with a visit to the Cave Creek School Open House on Saturday, February 15th.  The schoolhouse will be decorated with old-time Valentine's just as it would have been in the early 1900's.  Bonus:  Make your own handcrafted Valentine card to present to your loved one during your tour.  

Pontotoc Vineyards & Weingarten is hosting desserts after dark at the Fredericksburg weingarten.  Enjoy a glass of wine and handmade desserts in the romantic candlelit garden.  

Lots of opportunities to catch some live music across the Texas Hill Country.  Costs vary from FREE to $45 for a weekend of camping and dancing in Luckenbach!

Not budget friendly you say?  When you consider that your $60 donation to the February 12th Concert includes food and drink and you will be supporting the free concerts held in March, it's quite the bargain.  Think of it as an investment towards your March date nights!
