Quick highlights:
• St. Louis Day will be celebrating its 140th birthday this year.
• Dubbed several years ago by Texas Tourist Agency as “Homecoming for the State of Texas.”
• Visitors from all over the state travel to Castroville for this “Granddaddy” of one-day church picnics.
• BBQ beef and Alsatian sausage meal served 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Music, activities, crafts, games, rides and fun all day.
• There will be live entertainment Saturday night and throughout the day on Sunday featuring several bands and dance groups on two outdoor venues. Good old-fashioned family fun.
Castroville, and in particular St. Louis parish, has a rich history with many of the area folk still speaking the Alsatian language. For reporters, this quaint community is a great opportunity for a feature story.
Thanks in advance for interest you may have in St. Louis Day. I would love the opportunity to provide more insight and information for you. We have many visitors from your area who travel to Castroville for St. Louis Day each year. Should you do a feature of any kind on St. Louis Day, I would appreciate a copy or digital access for our historical archives.
Sincerely,
Joan Tinar
