1 Million Lights in Johnson City, TX 12-07-10


We rode the Buckhorn Bus to Johnson City, TX on Dec. 7 for dinner and to see the (over) 1 million lights in town. First stop was the Silver K Cafe where we had a very tasty meal. I had Mediterranian Pasta with olives, artichokes, spinach, feta cheese and a light sauce. Bill had fried catfish. I would highly recommend the Silver K Cafe to anyone traveling through Johnson City, and the prices are very reasonable.




After dinner we took a stroll through town. Our first stop was a little park a block from the cafe. It was filled with cartoon displays that would delight any child and adult alike!








Next stop was the court house. All four sides were covered with lights, top to bottom. It was stunning! Many other buildings in town were also decorated with beautiful lights.







We saved the best for last. The Pedernales Electric Company Headquarters in Johnson City puts up a breathtaking display of over a million lights. Each trunk, branch, and limb were covered with lights as well as the tree tops of the many live oak trees surrounding their buildings.





I doubt that there's a display anywhere in Texas as beautiful as Johnson City at Christmas time. Sure gets you in the Christmas Spirit- Merry Christmas to all....
