Austin Dam - Flood Centennial
Posted April 2, 2011, by Austin Flood Centennial (austinpa2011 [at] gmail [dot] com)

Plans are underway for the Austin Flood Centennial event. We have a great weekend planned for September 30 – October 2, 2011, kicking off with a commemorative ceremony to honor the victims of the Austin Flood. Then we’ll be turning back the clock and partying like it is 1911 with living history actors, hot air ballon rides, vintage baseball, woodhick games, demonstrations of 1911 crafts and trades, live music, ethnic foods and more. Visit the Austin Flood Centennial website at http://www.austin2011.com for more information. Hope all friends and fans of the dam will join us!
