Fall Festivities in a Small Town

Mabank has gone all out decorating hay bales ~  
perfectly displaying what small towns are all about!

  Enjoy!


A black cat, but we are the Panthers, too.


This was an insurance company. They all go along with whatever business decorated them.

there are more, but that is enough for now...I think you get the idea!



Mabank is all out festive, and I love it!

Thank you Marilyn Jones for all the pictures!

I saw the one on the highway on my way to W&T's. Didn't know there were more...I would have made a side trip. Who knew there was that much talent in one little town. Someone needs to send this in to "Sunday Morning"...Bill Geist would love this (He did a segment on Royer's and I bet he like nothing better than to come back to Texas)! Call Bob Phillips too while you're at it...aw heck...call Ellen!

It's so neat when small towns really get together like that. You can tell everyone is proud of y'alls sports teams. Lots of great imagination going on there.

What a wonderful little corner of the world! I wish our little community was so creative. By default the only creative bales around here look like someone has dropped a bag of curlers in the field - and that's just the stretch of my imagination - lol. I might have to get busy and spark some ideas around here. Thanks for sharing!

These are hilarious! Looks like someone takes their hay bales seriously! My favorite is the black cat, but I also really love the one at the hair salon! How fun!!
