33108: Kerrville Plans Three Events for April 12

We just received word of a trio of good events planned in Kerrville for April 12...three good reasons to visit this Hill Country town!

Wild4Art
“Wild4Art,” an outdoor celebration of art, will sprawl along the 800 block of Water Street downtown and feature the work of 10-15 gifted Texas artists who will demonstrate their talents in oils, pastel, pen and ink, screen printing, woodcarving, flint knapping, beading, and pottery making. Children can gain an appreciation of art as they have fun dressing up, playing in a teepee, and beading. Wear your own authentic Western garb and smile for the camera…a professional photographer can create a work on canvas you can buy as a great keepsake. You'll also have the chance to meet the friendly crew from 94.3 Revolution Radio, who will be live on site from 11-1. Pick up a free hot dog and lemonade, plus register for some Norman Rockwell prints.

When: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Where: Rivers Edge Gallery, 832 Water St., Kerrville
(830) 895-5184

Western Heritage Day
Western Heritage Day” will be hosted by Museum of Western Art. Internationally known trick roper Kevin Fitzpatrick will entertain with amazing rope stunts, and Mountain Man Roy Neal will demonstrate axe and knife throwing…and Clifton Fifer will be on hand to relate tales of the Black Cowboy.

You can also have fun with a washer toss game, watch rope making, cotton gin and beading demonstrations, check out some chuck wagon vittles, crawl into a teepee or climb up into a chuck wagon, and much more.

When: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: Museum of Western Art, 1550 Bandera Hwy, Kerrville (830) 896-2553 www.museumofwesternart.org
