The Palestine Hot Pepper festival is almost like a local holiday--everyone goes to the festival! (and for good reason! It's a blast!) The weather was great--a fabulous mixture of a nice breeze hitting your slightly sweaty skin--what more can you ask for for Hot Pepper Festival day! We hit the highlights--the food alley (corny dogs are my favorite festival guilty pleasure and a definite must for me) and checked out the kid's zone and the parade. Unfortunately, I didn't get to make it to the live music on Saturday night, but I heard it was GREAT! (There's always next year!) It was another great festival in a great town! Now for a few thousand pics from the festival: (Just kidding, I tried to keep it under 20 pics! haha)

Palestine, Texas was established in 1846 and features over 1800 historic sites, including homes, businesses, churches, monuments, cemeteries and museums. We are very lucky to be surrounded by a rich historical heritage in Palestine! I get asked often by folks about historic districts and whether or not their home is in a historic district. However, even if your home is not within one of the registered districts, you can still apply your property to be a Palestine Designated Historic Landmark. (To qualify, property must be 50+ years old and "have a historical value due to association with important events, people, trends, or are representative of historic architectural style and/or building methods."
