The finalists for Man of the Year, Woman of the Year, Business of the Year, Heritage Award, and Visionary Award have been selected and 32 Civic Organizations will be awarded at the 3rd Annual San Saba Awards Recognition Banquet to be held on March 10, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. in the San Saba Civic Center. These awards will recognize the efforts of individuals, businesses, and organizations that enhance and improve San Saba. Girls break out your grass skirts and guys put on your hawaiian shirts, as the theme of this year’s banquet is "It’s Hula Time In Texas." Tickets are on sale now for $10.00 each at San Saba City Hall, 303 South Clear Street in San Saba. Only 400 tickets will be sold and they will go fast! The San Saba Volunteer Fire Department will be cooking "Island Pork Chops" and The San Saba County Chamber Directors will be serving all the hawaiian side dishes, as our servers, for the third year in a row. This year’s entertainment will feature authentic Lei Greeters, Hawaiian Dancers, and Tiki Fire Dancers from "Baila Pacifica Entertainment." There will be hula lessons, a wide array of island fruit, desserts, drinks, and a Grand Prize, all included in the price of your ticket. There will also be a limbo contest and best dressed tourist contest. For more information call 325-372-8291 and Aloha!
