Cheers to Fifty Years: Spring Ho. July 9 - Sept. 4, 2021. In conjunction with this year’s Spring Ho Festival, the Museum is excited to present an exhibition focused on the inaugural year of the well loved annual fair. According to the newspaper supplement to The Highlander, Marble Falls, around ten thousand visitors were expected to descend on Lampasas for three days of activities, including golf tournaments, historical tours, an arts and crafts show, a horse show, a beauty pageant, a model train display, dances, contests, concerts, a car show, and the Hayloft Party. The name “Spring Ho” was selected from entries to a contest sponsored by the First National Bank of Lampasas. A prize of $25 was awarded to the anonymous entrant. From the beginning, the festival was organized by volunteers. It remains so today. Visit the Museum this summer to learn more about the early history of Spring Ho.
