Watch: Texas Polka Museum Museum

As important as faith and food are to the culture of Schulenburg, equally as important is the power of polka!

It’s a tradition forever woven into the fabric of this town. Just like the sound of an accordion tune that you can’t get out of your head. I know, polka may not be for everyone but to some it’s everything! And if your toes aren’t tapping by the time you leave this museum – Czech your pulse.

Since 2010, this museum has been honoring the Texans who bring the polka power all over the state.

WATCH: Cliff Jumping On Possum Kingdom Lake

Graham, TX

According to local captain and tour guide Jack Graham, one of the best things about Possum Kingdom Lake is that it’s not overly crowded.

“It’s one of the most beautiful lakes in Texas, and what’s been great about it in the 39 years I’ve been coming out here is that it hasn’t been known. So you don’t have a lot of lake traffic.”

The cliffs of Possum Kingdom are unrivaled. One formation in particular is known as Hell’s Gate: two stunning and sheer cliffs that beckon all who dare to enter. The cove was created by an oxbow of the original river channel and it makes a great place for people to hang out on the lake.

“That’s where people congregate for recreational fun,” says Graham, smiling. 

The craziest thing that happens here is the Red Bull Cliff Diving Championship, in which divers compete from heights between roughly 85 and 91 feet. So even if the devil on your shoulder tempts you to try jumping yourself, it’s best left to the professionals. In fact, jumping from any cliff higher than 20 feet around the lake is illegal.

Jumping from shorter cliffs around the lake is legal, however, and remains a popular pastime. Do you think you could take on one of these cliffs like Chet does?

2020 Look Back

Vaya Con Dios 2020

Whoa! That was crazy. And still is – if I’m being honest. But rather than just bash the year we’re leaving, I’d rather take a moment and celebrate some of the high points. My heart and prayers go up to anybody that lost a loved one this year. But even amongst the grief, I pray you can find moments to celebrate. Here are mine.

Best Moment

When the pandemic hit, we made a fun video encouraging others to STAY HOME AND STAY SAFE. This sticks out in my head as one of the best moments.

Highest Honor of the Year

Drinking ice tea with the Governor on his front porch. I knew it was a long shot to get Governor Abbott on our program. But, he agreed to (maybe he thought we were the Texas Country Reporter). Runner Ups are banging the gavel in the Senate Chamber and winning our 11th Lone Star Emmy. I’ve got the best crew in the world.

Chillin’ with Governor Abbott
Bang Bang Goes the Gavel
Winning our 11th Lone Star Emmy

Best Meal I Ate

This honor goes to The Golden Rule in Georgetown, Texas. This new spot is serving up some amazing food on the square. A close second is Perini Ranch Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap, Texas. It isn’t the first time I’ve visited, but it was the best.

Full Spread at The Golden Rule, Georgetown, TX

Best Plate of BBQ

This one goes to Corkscrew BBQ in Spring, Texas. We filmed this segment right before the pandemic changed everything. And this BBQ is worthy of the road trip.

Best Burger on the Road

We ate some amazing burgers this year. But my top burger goes to The Yard in McKinney. It was classic and just about perfect on every level. The “Cover Burger” at Alamo Springs Cafe and the green chili burger at Andice General Store are close runner ups.

Best Pizza

This honor goes to a pizza I had in Stephenville, Texas at a spot called Caam’s. I gave it extra points because it was so unexpected. It had sausage, brussel sprouts, and a sweet-siracha honey glaze. Other great pizza were at Tony C’s Pizza & Beer Garden in Round Rock. AND Moontower Pizza Bar in Burleson – home of the World’s Largest Pizza.

Best Adrenaline-Pumping Adventure

Y’all haven’t seen this episode yet. But I sent Skydiving with Skydive Temple and it was…EPIC. Stay tuned for this as part of our Adrenaline, Texas episode.

Freefallin’ with Skydive Temple

Best Family Adventure

We are an adventuring family. And when Covid hit, we knew we needed to do something safely but still feed our need for adventure. So..we started taking Fridays Off. It was a way to explore some new outdoor activities. And we went jumping from State Park to State Park. So, I don’t have a particular adventure, but it was a whole collection of them.

Hiking at Miller Springs, Belton, TX

Best Overnight Getaway

This goes to a Quaran-trip we took to the Stagecoach Inn in Salado. If you haven’t been to this classic inn, then you’re missing out. It’s amazing. A close runner up was to the Perini Ranch Guesthouse in Buffalo Gap, Texas.

Best Couple’s Getaway

Laura and I love a getaway adventure. This year, we weren’t able to leave our family, so we stayed local. Big shout out to the Sheraton Georgetown on being an awesome Staycation Destination.

Sheraton, Georgetown, TX

New Texas-Sized Amigos

We’ve picked up some amazing new friends this year. Thanks for being part of our adventures.

THANKS FOR AN AMAZING 2020

Here’s hoping that 2021 is even better.

2019 Look Back

One of my favorite things to do at the end of any year is look back on all the blessings that the year brought. If I don’t intentionally take some time to slow down and reflect, then I completely miss celebrating the victories. Simply put, I miss the chance to be thankful for some pretty amazing things. Of course, no year is perfect and 2019 definitely had it’s struggles, but here are some of the amazing moments. Thanks to everyone who made 2019 our best year yet.

Best Overall Moment

Hands down the birth of my son – Shepherd Garner. I know it seems like I have to say this, but truthfully, nothing can top it.

Highest Honor of the Year

I got to be the emcee for the Governors Inauguration on the Capitol Lawn. Other honors include winning our 9th Lone Star Emmy, being named a finalist for the Austin Under 40 Awards, and being the Grand Marshall for the Oatmeal Festival.

I announced the Duncanville band and dance corp. That is Governor Abbotts hometown

I wasnt at the ceremony, so here is Daniel accepting the award on stage.
Eat your oatmeal kids, or youll turn out like this…

Best Meal I Ate

It’s a close one, but the winner is Second Bar + Kitchen in the Domain. It was a multi-course roman feast and everything was amazing. Runner Ups include: The Brewers Table in East Austin and The Schooner in Nederland.

Ribeye from Second.
The “fish” option at The Brewers Table.

Best Plate of BBQ

This is a really tough one, but the winner is Bodacious BBQ in Longview, TX for its killer….everything. Close second goes to Interstellar BBQ in Austin, TX.

The Full Spread at Bodacious BBQ on Mobberly.

Best Burger on the Road

We eat a LOT of burgers on the show, but on camera and in between the official locations. My top burger goes to “Nate Nasty” at The Porch at ETX Brewing in Tyler, TX. It looks like a pile of slop but its SOO good with beef, pork, mac & cheese, and an egg. Runner Up burgers include Willie’s Place in Wichita Falls, Fat Boy Burgers in Johnson City, and Eatsie Boys in Houston.

Best Adrenaline-Pumping Adventure

This one goes to two experiences. One was taking my first hot-air balloon ride and the other was hiking to the top of Baldy Peak in the Davis Mountains.

Hey Down There…
The Top of Baldy Peak!

Best Family Adventure

My family got to visit Oregon with our partner Best Western. It was an incredible experience. The Eastern side of the state is very similar to Texas in the best of ways. The video will come out in early January 2020. Runner Up includes taking my kids into the “Shark Cage” at the Mesquite Rodeo.

Riding on a wagon in Oregon.
Inside of the SHARK CAGE right next to the Bull Riding!!!

Best Couple’s Adventure

My wife and I got to go to New York City before our baby arrived. We made a video about it which you can find here. A close Runner Up was a getaway to Camp Lucy in Dripping Springs.

The view from a gas station. Or the Empire State Building. I cant remember.
The overlook at Camp Lucy.

Best Texas-Travel Moments

There are a ton of these, but the ones that stand out in my head as really special are…

Visited 15 new Texas Counties. I’m still about 30 shy of 254, but I’ll get there.
Visiting the CENTER OF TEXAS
Seeing the Spot where the Colorado River flows into the Gulf of Mexico.
I got to attend my first Aggie ring ceremony for my sister-in-law. Im a proud Longhorn, so you wont see me doing a GIG EM, but I was happy to support her.
I got to see the top of the “Worlds Littlest Skyscraper”
Go to see my first Cowboys game since the 90’s.
Made some new friends on the road like Matt Pittman of Meat Church.

Best Accomplishments of the Year

We raised support for local food banks via our CANS 4 Q partnerships with Rudys “Country Store” and Bar-B-Q
I got to emcee a number of galas raising support for amazing charities.
We opened THE DAYTRIPPER WORLD HEADQUARTERS a new office and retail store.
Got myself a Custom Hat from Nathaniels Custom Hats in Georgetown
We launched a campaign with Don Hewlett Chevrolet. Can you guess the mystery spokesperson?
We did a truly LIVE fundraiser with Austin PBS and raised over $10,000 for public television.

I better cut it off here. But the more I look, the more that I find incredible moments hidden in between these. I want to encourage y’all to take some time and celebrate 2019. I’m sure it had challenges, but don’t miss the chance to celebrate the blessings.

THANKS FOR AN AMAZING 2019
