Toast to Texas to move downtown
Seguin to celebrate Texas Independence Day Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – Celebrating Texas Independence Day on March 2 will look a bit different in Seguin this year. For years, the annual Toast to Texas program has been held on the steps of the historic Sebastopol House. However, this year, the event is moving to Central Park in downtown Seguin. The event which raises a toast to Texas’ independence from Mexico is hosted each year by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Abishai Mercer Dickson-Seguin Chapter and the city of Seguin. Group Vice President, Kreschendalyn Backus, says not only will the event be held downtown but this year’s celebration will include some extra guests and Lil Texan festivities beginning at 11 a.m. “This year, it is different because it is on a Saturday, and it hasn’t

been on a Saturday in years, so we decided to invite and direct some of our activities towards the youngest Texans and we’ve got some booths out. The Daughter of the Republic of Texas, our district, is sending out the traveling trunk which has artifacts and interactive items from that time period of the Republic of Texas. The Magnolia House is coming out with a booth and other historic organizations in our county along with 4H Shooting Sports will have their project on Western Heritage. The county’s Master Naturalists will have a Texas Indian exhibit that they will be bringing out and the art league is coming down to do some arts and crafts with the kids. Teatro is going to dance and perform and their Mariachi at 11:15,” said Backus. Toast, pg. 3
