They used the front porch of Ingleside to film a couple of the scenes. We can't wait to see the finished product. The 118th Annual Maifest was held Mother's Day weekend and was a huge success. The most fun for guests at Ingleside is to be able to sit on the front porch and watch as the floats arrive and then start to fill with all of the wonderful costumed children. Then you get to watch the parade go right past your front row seat. This year I had guests who came to Brenham for other reasons, not knowing about Maifest. They had such a good time that they booked their
room for next Mother's Day weekend for two nights instead of one. If you enjoy good German food, fun German music and costumes in all the colors of the rainbow, then next year you need to join us for the 119th Annual Maifest. We are so proud of this small town tradition and would love for more non local people to have the chance to experience it. See you next year!!!
