If you’re headed to the Hill Country this summer, plan your trip for this coming weekend, June 21st, for the Stonewall Peach Jamboree and Rodeo — undoubtedly the greatest display of pure, country, redneck-Americana one can experience. The 52ND Annual Peach Jamboree, Parade and Rodeo is THIS Friday and Saturday.

There’s a rodeo and dance each night. The Peach Parade meanders through town Saturday morning at 10 am. Garrison Brothers Distillery will have a float in the parade — look for the really pretty girls and the really ugly boys with beards — and we’re sponsoring the Barrel Races at the rodeo. If this all sounds hokey as hell to you, well, GET OVER IT AND PUT YOUR BOOTS ON!

Immediately after the parade, at 12:30, everybody is invited back to Garrison Brothers Distillery for a fried chicken lunch in our barrel barn. Come early though because we will run out of chicken and lunch is first come, first-served. We’ll have the legendary Charlie Montague playing off the back porch at The Barrel Barn. And we’ll be auctioning off some of the most beautiful whiskey and wine barrels you’ve ever seen.

Lunch is BYOB and we’ll be asking for $20 a person. We will donate most of the proceeds to The Hye Preservation Society. The “boys round here” bought the first 150 tickets so only 104 tickets remain available. When it’s sold out, it’s sold out.

Since we’ve got tons of chicken to fry, there are no refunds on tickets unless you get run over by a parade float. If you’re going to join us for lunch, you can buy tickets at https://www.garrisonbros.com/tour. Just click on the box that says WINNER, WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.

We’ll also announce this on our Facebook page in the next few days at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Garrison-Brothers-Distillery/157733482684?ref=hl. But by then, tickets may already be sold out.

You can learn more about everything going on at the Stonewall Peach Parade and buy event tickets at http://www.stonewalltexas.com/peach_jamboree.html

We hope to see ya’ll here.

Kind regards,

Dan Garrison

The Sherry Casks Came a Long Way to Get to Hye On certain mornings in Hye, the light comes in low and gold over the Hill Country and lands on the rickhouses in a way that makes even an old bourbon man stop and stare. The cedar trees look half asleep. The gravel crunches under […]

If you’ve never been out to Balmorhea, it’s hard to explain what it feels like the first time you see it. You drive for hours through West Texas, past land that looks like it’s given up on trying to impress you. Flat stretches of scrub and rock. Fence posts leaning into the wind. Heat that […]
