An outdoor expo is coming to Llano as part of a weekend-long celebration. The Hill Country Expo will take place Sept. 29-Oct. 1 as part of LlanoMusicFest.com.
Organizer Alan Powers said the JLK Center will be full of activities, including the Tyler Magnus Team Roping and Ranch Rodeo and its 2,500 participants, which will take place under the same roof.
The JLK Center includes a 25,000-square-foot exhibit center, which will host the Expo.
The best news? All of the events at the JLK Center are free, while concertgoer tickets begin at $35.
Across the street and along the Llano River at Robinson City Park is the home of the Music Fest, which will showcase Roger Creager, ShinyRibs, Kin Faux, Thomas Michael Riley, The Wilder Blue, Tejas Brothers, Davin James, Nathan Colt Young, Calamity Janes and Joe Forlini.
“The Outdoor Expo will be everything outdoors, including hunting, fishing and western exhibits,” Powers said. “All of the events are tied together to bring people to Llano to experience what the outdoors and the Hill Country has to offer.”
Powers said the Exotic Wildlife Association will be on hand with mounts of native and exotic animals. Interested exhibitors are asked to contact Cindy at KJCCO2264@gmail.com or (325)-423-2727.
