Come Celebrate Toubin Park Groundbreaking on May 25, 2011
Brenham was quite progressive back in the day.
They had underground cisterns filled with water, in the downtown alleys, to fight fires.
This Wednesday one of the cisterns that held water will be uncovered for viewing before construction begins on Toubin Park.
This small park, when built, will have the history of Brenham as you tour the park.
How exciting this is for our wonderful town!
If you are here make sure to include this in your must see list!

Unity Theatre presents Little Mary Sunshine
Presents:
June 9-26, 2011
Little Mary Sunshine a musical by Rick Besoyan
It's a simpler time, There's a good man for every virtuous woman, justice always triumphs, and God blesses America.
This is a musical spoof of old-time operettas. It's not modern. It's not edgy. It's the sweet story of Little Mary, who knows the handsome hero is courageous, villains will be defeated, and nothing must dim a sunny dispositions.
When you book your stay
we will be glad to secure your tickets!
You can add them to your stay if you book online or give us a call to book and we will make sure you get your tickets.

How Do You Keep Brown Sugar from Getting Hard Lumps
Do any of your out there have trouble with you brown sugar getting hard?
-I know I have heard of placing a piece of bread in
with the brown sugar and
-Placing brown sugar in plastic baggies
... But here is my solution
This is a piece of clay that has been fired, but not glazed. You simply soak it in water, pat it dry and place it in you brown sugar jar or bag.
It can be used over and over again by simply soaking it again.
I got mine at Martha's Bloomers, but any specialty store will probably have them.
