Abilene Wide Open: Dancing over the star
The traditional street dance after the downtown parade is a classic part of the annual tradition.
A band - this year Midnight Blue - performs western swing for couples and the occasional whirling child, the Texas star set into the pavement at Cypress and North First streets serving as the dance floor.

Abilene-area farmers selling fresh veggies, meat, eggs and more
At local farmers markets, consumers can eliminate the middleman and the miles between field and table.
Locally grown food usually is ripened on the vine, meaning it has fuller flavor and nutrients. The further your produce travelers between the farm and your table, the earlier it was picked before peak ripeness to make the trip. Whether it ripened naturally or artificially along the way, the taste is not optimal.
Another advantage to buying from locally is knowing where your food originates and being able to ask the farmer if any chemicals are used, and if so, which ones and why.
