The 2013 Brownwood Reunion Celebration was blessed with mild and sunny weather Saturday for everyone to enjoy the attractions, competitions, food, and music. All of the fun continued throughout the day and was capped off on the main stage by Cory Morrow (pictured at top).
Saturday’s events began with the annual 5K/10K run, and about 500 participants took to the downtown streets to race to the finish line. That event was immediately followed by the Feels Like Home Grand Parade which was followed by the Honor a Hero Parade.
The Classic Car Show in the Brownwood Coliseum was also buzzing all day Saturday with activity, and showcased 50 classic vehicles. The entire festival area was filled with the smell of great food not only from the food court, but also from this year’s BBQ cook-off.
Great music was also all around the festival area with four stages besides the main Celebration Stage including the BBQ Cook-off stage, Carnegie Corner stage, Home Town Hero stage, and Front Porch Pickin’ stage.
There was plenty to see and do throughout Saturday’s festivities including mini-train rides at the Martin and Lehnis Railroad Museum, Kids Zone, budgie cord jumping, Bubble Runners, Brownwood’s got Talent competition, carnival rides and more than 100 vendors offering a variety of merchandise.
The Hands on a House competition also continued with organizers throwing extra challenges to the contestants. As of about 8 p.m. Saturday, 12 of the original 24 contestants remained to participate on the house.
The Brownwood Reunion Celebration will continue Sunday, September 22 and offer a concert by Van Wilks along with more food, activities and fun.
