It’s interesting how The Woodlands is developing as a city. When I was younger, it was a day trip to go to Old Town Spring, which seemed a huge distance away. The Woodlands is actually about 15 miles further than that, and yet they’re continuing to draw people from all around the area with events like these.

I just got back about an hour ago from out there and I think overall they did a better job than the Bayou City Art Festival. The area around the mall and the interstate is really taking off.
