A Weekend To Remember

By Tim Turnbeaugh

Folklife Festival 2016 is one for the books. I made the trip back to Cisco on Sunday to join other Ciscoans as well as folks from Eastland, Ranger, Abilene, and even as far as Austin and other towns, on the campus of Cisco College to enjoy this longstanding tradition, which, for over 40 years, as bringing smiles to faces of all ages. With a smorgasbord rivaling the midways of Coney Island and Kemah, food vendors were set up under a tent and offered a wide variety of selections from Pizza to Hamburgers as well as several different choices of beverages to wet your whistle, which included two Texas favorites, sweet tea and Dr Pepper, and who could forget Oscar’s DELICIOUS Texas Barbecue and the ladies of the Civic League all decked out in their trademark yellow gowns, serving the Festival’s famous Strawberry Shortcake.
