Linden Locale
Spring has sprung as Linden prepares for funfilled festivities and socials, including Spring Fling on the Square and the fast approaching Wildflower Trails of Texas.
Spring Fling on the Square social is set to kick off the social season on March 11th, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m., according to Linden Main Street.
“We will have vendors, food trailers, local businesses/ restaurants, and a Kid Fun Zone that starts at 3:00 p.m., and music,” said Linden Main Street officials. “We will also have our second ‘Jeep Mingle’. So load up the whole family and come on down to the Historic Courthouse Square. Fun times for all ages.”
The Kid’s Fun Zone will feature Linden’s very own Flower Lady, Ms. Ruth Brown, who will teach kiddos how to plant marigold seeds.
“Each child will get to keep the starter cup they made and take it up to watch the magic of Mother Nature,” they said. “Bring your littles so they can learn about planting and growing from Ms. Ruth.”
Wildflower Trails of Texas in Linden will be upon us soon, at the end of April, so those interested in being a vendor should contact them on their Website, wildflowertrailsoftexas. org/lindenvendors?fbclid=IwAR30C1yAyUYwZzMCOyk- g2UKAczs-J6w9Fl9D8r2NxFPVUxf8V3fd6GnEw3k to fill out a vendor form.
The submission deadline for vendor forms is April 14.
The much anticipated 2023 Wildflower Trails Tee-Shirts are finally ready for purchase at Olde 1852 Market Company, Carla’s Flowers & Gifts, and BBB Insurance. Shirts are $15 dollars and come in black, blue and green, with sizes small - 3x in stock.
“They are already flying off the shelf,” they said. “There are a few youth small and youth large available. We can purchase the 4x of 5x for you.”
The Linden Wildflower Trails will host their annual car show on April 29 in the north parking lot of First Baptist Church from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. The parade will start at 2:00 p.m. and awards will be given at about 3:00 p.m. Registration for the show is from 8 a.m.- 10:00 a.m. and an individual can enter more than one vehicle for $25 per entry.
Apart from the car show and parade, there will be music in the square, food, vendors, a quilt show, a flower show, and much much more. A rodeo is slated for both Friday and Saturday night, as well.
