Went out to Dogpatch today.  Enjoyed myself visiting.  The pirate thing was cool for the kids and didn't bother the adults.  I thought it was a good idea and with a little more group participation and some involvement from the community events will grow.
They have come a long way and are planning a fun sounding Halloween event.

Awesome event. The whole pirate thing didn't turn out to be a big draw, but it was an interesting idea and some people really got into it.

I really fell in love with the place. Even though everything is dilapidated, you can feel the energy and the possibilities behind it all. I'm absolutely getting my hopes up that this place will turn into something amazing. All the cards are in place for it.

I'll post a big photo update of the place tomorrow.

Tinmann, I am not seeing or hearing much in NWA media about Dogpatch stuff. Are the publicity folks pushing the newspapers, TV, and radio to publicize activities? Are they buying ads to promote things?

Mostly thru their fb page. Some events were featured on each network. Some newspapers have run stories. Not a penny is spent on advertising, since it's been volunteer work & volunteers hosting craft weekends. (other than flyers, posters, & signs)

Coming soon in March:
Do you make crafts? Grow produce? Make yummy breads, sweets or jams? Or maybe just have some things that you don't need anymore that you would like to get rid of? Well, we have the place for you!
Starting soon in March, is a new market in Marble Falls to sell it all. You can get a 10' x 20' space for only $10. The market will be open on Saturdays from 8 A.M. to close. Meaning you can stay as long as you want up until it gets dark. There will be plenty of parking, port a potties, etc. The market will start out as outdoors only, but will soon have indoor spots available. (This will be in and around the tram/entrance building.). We are planning to soon add a picnic area with a fabulous view, music and so much more. These will be advertised events.
If you are interested in reserving a spot or would like more information, call Dorraine at (870) 715-8243.

Also, the next big volunteer clean-up weekend is March 18-20
