Fields of Dreams: a look at school baseball stadiums

Fields of Dreams: a look at school baseball stadiums

In today's sports world when one talks about a Field of Dreams, they are referring to baseball fields as made famous by the movie of the same name. Dripping Springs has long had a field of dreams in their history beginning back in the 1880's. Every small town or community seemed to have a baseball team and they were also very strong rivalries, not to mention any big celebration was climaxed with a baseball game. I read about how the community treated a non-popular politician at a political rally. They assigned each politician to a spot on the stage to make their speech. He was last. As it was nearing his time, various people mingled through the crowd letting them know the game was about to start. By the time his speech was to be made there were very few people left in the crowd. He complained this was not the first time it had happened. Also, Syd Hall, a life-long Driftwood native and DS graduate, could remember starting out early in the morning and walking to Dripping Springs to watch or play in a baseball game. 07/27/2022 04:00 AM

GARDENING

There is a new Superbells calibrachoa making its debut in 2023 that is so beautifully unusual, I’ve wondered if Proven Winners even knows what it has: Superbells Prism Pink Lemonade calibrachoa. Had calibrachoas been around in 1800 as Empress Josephine was constructing the gardens at Le Chateau de Malmaison, I am sure Pink Lemonade would have been her first choice. 07/21/2022 12:00 AM

The Indigenous Cultures Institute, based in San Marcos, Texas, held its 12th Indigenous Arts Summer Encounter from June 27 through July 2, 2022 at Cuauhtemoc Hall. Local students participated in daily activities that included the history, culture, arts and traditions of the indigenous people of this area. Students learned the Creation Story, about food justice, and engaged in visual arts, music, dance, writing and cooking/nutrition activities. Students were also introduced to the Coahuiltecan language which was spoken by Indigenous ancestors who lived and thrived in this area for over 13,000 years. The event was sponsored by the City of San Marcos Arts Commission, Texas Commission on the Arts, Hays County, Hill Country Alliance, Environmental Defense Fund, and public donations. 07/21/2022 12:00 AM
