The former “Queen of Salado,” Jane Wilmer, is turning 100 on April 3.  Although she relocated to California two years ago, she misses her many Salado friends.  Her children are having a birthday party for her on April 3rd and were hoping some of those friends would  send her birthday cards for that date.

Salado’s Main Street has been the Main Street of Texas forever, it seems. It was the Old Military Road and then Highway 81 before I-35 was ever conceived. It was a feeder trail on the Chisholm Trail during the cattle drives that links the image of Texas with that of the Longhorn and the Cowboy.

Now, thanks to John Barclay and Salado artist Ronnie Wells, Salado’s Main Street is further connected to the mythos of Texas and the Texas cowboy.

Salado, TX — 2020 may not be a favorite year for some, but for many central Texas wineries, it has been a record breaking year.  “With sales down and harvests and yields up we have had much more time for winemaking this summer” says owner of Salado Winery, June Ritterbusch.  “There is so much more grape growing in this area than there was when we started 15 years ago, we were excited to take advantage of the opportunities available to us this year”.

Beginning Aug. 1 at the Salado Museum, Salado Village Voice will present “Cartooning Texas: One Hundred Years of Cartoon Art in the Lone Star State,” an exhibition developed by Maury Forman and Robert A. Calvert for the Center for Texas Studies at the University of North Texas with support from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
