Bring a blanket to the first annual outdoor HoodStock Music Festival on Saturday, Sept. 3 to hear American Texas Country artists, including Kevin Fowler and Ray Wylie Hubbard.
Not a country music fan? Granbury also has plenty of other activities including a ghost tour in the historic town square (call for reservations), the annual Biker Bash for motorcycle enthusiasts and nearby Fossil Rim Wildlife Park, where visitors can meet -- and even feed -- kudu, cheetah, addax and 50 other species of exotic animals on a 1,700-acre ranch.
Labor Day deal: Stay Sunday through Thursday at the Granbury Gardens Bed and Breakfast Inn for only $95 a night, including full breakfast and fresh roasted coffee.
Cars for couples without a lot of money but a long road ahead of them.
