Happy Holidays from the Granbury Area Bed and Breakfast Association and Historic Granbury Merchants Association

Need an "attitude adjustment"?

From Tiberia at Barking Rocks Winery, just N. of Granbury: "Our first Friday gathering in December will be the 7th from 7 till 11. Joe Henderson will be plucking the strings and sharing his original songs with us. Joe is a long time friend. We have watched him and his family grow over the years and his songs are in many cases a reflection of these experiences and relationships. We will hopefully be burning some wood in the pit outside. So bring your morsels and attitudes to share and we will pop the appropriate corks to make the occasion flow."

If you have experienced First Friday gatherings at Barking Rocks, please post your comments. We'd like to hear from you!
