Let Us Entertain You

The rolling hills are alive with the many sounds of music this summer and it is time to consider a trip to Brenham to attend one of many musical events.

Unity Theatre, our next door neighbor, is performing, Little Mary Sunshine, a spoof of old-time operettas, of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, of favorites like “Rose Marie” and “Naughty Marietta.”  It’s not modern.  It’s not edgy.  It is a sweet story poking fun at other sweet stories.  It is showing for 3 weeks, 4 times a week, from June 9-26.  Go to www.unitybrenham.org for more info.  Ticket sale begins May 30.

Round Top’s Festival Institute will be celebrating it’s 40th Anniversary with concerts beginning June 11 and running through July 16.  This internationally acclaimed European styled music institute for aspiring young musicians will feature orchestra and chamber music concerts in their beautiful concert hall in Round Top, a short drive from Brenham.  http://www.festivalhill.org for tickets.

For those looking for a laid back atmosphere, bring your lawn chairs to Brenham’s courthouse square for their annual Hot Nights, Cool Tunes- free street concerts Saturdays in July at 7:00 pm.   Go to www. downtownbrenham.com for the lineup of bands.

Historic Ant Street Inn Updates Website

Brenham’s unique downtown hotel Ant Street Inn has always had a presence online from its beginning, but plans to fully utilize the power of the web with its upcoming relaunch at www.antstreetinn.com. The new website will feature an ultra clean, modern, optimized user experience with an emphasis on both beauty and speed. Best practices and contemporary design will be used throughout the site. An extensive gallery showcases various shots of every guest room and the facilities. Ant Street will harness the power of social media via new Twitter and Facebook profiles, as well as a blog tended by co-owner Pam Traylor. An online 3rd-party reservation system is already in place and will be carried over to the new site. The completion date is drawing near… stay tuned!

New Ant Street Inn website coming!

We are excited to have a new version of the Ant Street Inn website in development. The new site will be very clean, fast, and user-friendly. The early mockups by Rockatansky Design are looking great so far. Estimated completion should be in the next week or so – more to come!
