Zest Fest fun in Taylor, Texas

The little town where we live, Taylor, Texas, is home to a little over 15,000 people, but they’re big enough to have a great annual celebration, Zest Fest.   I joined in the fun last weekend for the event and recorded a few photos for the Williamson County Sun.   It’s always fun to take in the colorful and educational dance rhythms of Taylor’s own Folkloric Dance Collaborative, ably directed by Alma Holiday.   For those wanting some fine singing, there was The Golden Oldies Show, comprised of Larry Nichols and Johnny Youngblood.   Enjoying a dance to their music were Willie Johnson and his wife, Jeanette, Austin residents who will soon become Taylor residents.  Adding a bit of life to downtown sidewalks with some bright chalk art were members of the Taylor Artists Guild.
