However if you missed Scarborough Faire and are longing for the particular type of experience oh I The Texas Greco-Roman Festival tamed only at one of these outdoor theme festivals go and enjoy If too you went to Scarborough Faire and want more go and enjoy For if the truth be known whatever the pretend locality these festivals are very similar And the older they are the better they are The Texas Greco-Roman Festival began May 26 and continues weekends through July 1 10 am until 7 pm The location really is superb the Greeks couldn't have done better The festival takes place in a beautiful oak forest 30 miles northeast of Dallas between Rockwall and Terrell The festival features more than 100 shows each day Entertainers include a magician Harvey the Druid escaping from a padlocked water-filled barrel the Guava Bombletts a Dallas comedyimprovisation group performing as the festival's comic gods and goddesses and the Aeloian Players (Greek musicians really two professors at East Texas State University) New this year is a funny original Roman melodrama starring none other than Cleopatra at the new canopied amphitheater stage Lore Among the Pyramids or Everything you always wanted to know about Antony and Cleopatra but were afraid to ASP is the star's long-awaited comeback vehicle The chariot races on the Circus Chariot racing is only one of the festivars attractions MMi 1 I I I ex 183 I '3'1 I Rockwall 1 I I FM 276 205 I IP Rockwall Co I Hun' Co i I I Rockwall Muni CO I 1 I FM 276 kl co ra I PM I lif it' eX 183 I 205 IRockwall Co 4111 -0'3 celebrated as holidays 93 days of games plus religious feasts parades and grand parties hosted by the Emperor Was there a Hallmark equivalent turning out greeting cards for each of those occasions?

Trading houses were to be established near the junction of the Clear Fork and the West Fork of the Trinity at Comanche Peak near Granbury and on the San Saba River The treaty council at Bird's Fort was the last official event to occur at the outpost during the years of the Texas Republic Most of the Indians in North Texas remained northwest of the treaty line but others disregarded it completely in the same manner that many whites refused to acknowledge that the Indian lands were officially closed to them Clashes between Indian raiding parties and white traders and settlers were to continue sporadically in North Texas for another 30 years marks on the document were chiefs of the Delaware Chickasaw Waco Tawakoni Kichai Caddo Anadarko Ionie Biloxi and Cherokee tribes Both parties agreed to live in peace protect all women and children and respect the treaty line along which trading houses were to be established Neither whites nor Indians were to cross the line without authority to do so
