| Spring Ho... the 2nd full weekend in July since 1972! |
|
|
|
Spring Ho 2010, Monday July 5th through Sunday July 11th!
|
The Spring Ho Festival began from an idea conceived by Lampasas residents Milton Boone and Gary Martin in 1972.
Totally supported by volunteers, Spring Ho has evolved from its original second full weekend in July roots to now encompassing Monday through Sunday, with each day brimming over with activities.
The Spring Ho Festival continues as an all volunteer group supported not only by Lampasas and Lampasas County residents, but by those far beyond! |

Lampasas and water have always had a tumultuous relationship. The historic May 1957 flood demolished a large portion of the town of Lampasas and almost destroyed the downtown business district.
However, the beauty and benefits of the springs and Sulphur Creek far out weigh the havoc that can, and many times does result when the storm clouds gather and the creek rises!
Lampasas without Hancock Springs, Hanna Springs, Cooper Springs and hundreds of other smaller springs as well as Sulphur Creek, well, it just wouldn’t be Lampasas!

Come on down to Lampasas the second full weekend in July for some fun at Spring Ho. You'll love it!
Visit the spring-fed Hancock Swimming Pool (yep, bring your suit for some swimming). Visit Hancock Springs and watch as seventy gallons of water per second flows out! Don't miss the remains of the historic bathhouse and the beauty of the restored historic Hostess House. Visit beautiful historic Downtown Lampasas located in the National Registered Historic District and don't miss the fabulous art in Campbell Park!

| Even if you don’t play golf, be sure and look at the prettiest golf course in Texas. You won’t believe the beauty of the golf course, the giant pecan tree’s and spring fed Sulphur Creek winding its way through it all,... wow! |
