Discover Victoria Day

                 It was one of our first beautiful spring days here in Victoria.  Such spring days and temperate temps have been slow in coming, but they're worth the wait.  Approximately 400 citizens and community people attended the annual Discover Victoria Day on Saturday, May 17th, 2014, at the Victoria Recreation Center.  Said Randy Miller, president of the Victoria Business Association,"Discover Victoria Day is gaining in popularity and becoming an annual spring event for our community of Victoria."

                 Nearly 70 vendors with smiling faces, conversation, treats, gifts, and much information awaited visitors in the spacious gymnasium of the Victoria Recreation Center.  Discover Victoria Day is jointly sponsored by the City of Victoria and the VBA.  Below are a few of the vendors I visited.
