‘Little Shop of Horrors’
in Fredericksburg - NEW!
Sunday February 23, $43 pp
Depart SCPL 9:15 a.m.; Return 7:30 p.m.
A hapless florist, a blood-thirsty
plant, a Greek chorus of doo-wop singers, and
the search for fame, fortune and love create an
innocent looking
Little Shop of Horrors
, a riot-
ously funny musical that will make you scream with laughter.
This story comes to life with music that is part 60s rock and
roll, doo-wop, and a bit of Motown for a one-of-a-kind musical
experience. Fredericksburg Theater Company, known for their
‘Off Broadway Excellence in the Charm of the Hill Country,’
presents this matinee performance.
A wide array of shops and restaurants line Fredericksburg
Main Street where you will have ample time for browsing and
lunch before we attend our matinee. After the showwe will stop
at Wildseed Farms for treats and eats – maybe a glass of your
favorite brew in the Bluebonnet Biergarten. Gourmet treats,
home décor, wildflower seeds, and whimsical gifts share space
in this wonderland of shopping. You’ll find lots of Texas favorites
in the Lantana Nursery, but be careful! Stories have been told of
strange plants, strange sounds – ‘Feed me, Seymour, feed me!’
Ticket cost includes transportation and matinee.

Capitol Tour and Bullock Museum with
Lunch at Story of Texas Café - NEW!
Monday, February 24, $37 pp
Depart SCPL 9:30 a.m.; Return 3:45 p.m.
Explore two unique Texas
sights! We start at the Capitol, which in true
Texas spirit, is the largest in gross square foot-
age of all state capitols. Completed in 1888 as
the winning design from a national competition, the capitol was
paid for not in dollars, but in land. We will have guides to point out
special features and also see exhibits at the Capitol Visitors Center.
Then we are off to lunch at the Story of Texas Café. Choose
your entrée when you purchase your ticket. Choices: (1) turkey
sandwich and cup of soup, (2) spinach and berry salad with
balsamic vinaigrette dressing, (3) vegetarian caprese sandwich
(mozzarella, basil, tomato), or (4) café burger.
Following lunch, docents will provide a guided tour of the Bullock
Museum. Founded as a non-collecting institution, the museum
brings the Story of Texas to life through an ongoing process of
changing historical objects as loans are returned and new ones
are received. This is a place you can visit many times and still
not see everything it has to offer. The three floors of exhibits
are built around three themes: Land, Identity, and Opportunity.
