    Episode 11: Winter Guest & Goosebump Jump

    Featured Guests: Sam Houston (publisher of the Hood County News) and Tammy Dooley (director of Visit Granbury)

    Excerpt (Sam Houston when asked why tourism was important to him on a personal level): “...I truly believe that Granbury is the most unique city that I've ever been in. If you're bored in Granbury, you want to be a hermit, because there is something going on all the time. And it's so exciting for me, when I walk around the square on a Saturday night, to stop people and ask them where they're from and what they're having fun doing. And they think they've come to paradise."

    Excerpt (Tammy Dooley when asked if she has ever participated in the Goosebump Jump): “I have done it. I will tell you ... I'm a wimp. I make it out about almost to my waist - maybe a little less. It's cold - very, very cold."

    Overview: Granbury is intentional about embracing the cold! That hasn't always been the case. There are bleak stories of Granbury in January and February - a cold, empty square just waiting for spring to arrive. That's when Sam Houston and Micky Shearon had an idea. They wanted to put emphasis on the frigid months, launching what is now known as the city's WinterGuest initiative. This stratigic marketing campaign - spearheaded by Visit Granbury - wrapped its arms around the winter months, creating a WinterGuest Passport with more than $1,000 in savings for visitors. Tammy Dooley and her team did not stop there, adding the wildly-popular Goosebump Jump to the WinterGuest experience. Now, you can jump into frigid Lake Granbury before catching a show downtown or eating dinner with ol' friends. By simply listening to local stakeholders, Granbury is now the place to be when the temps are hovering around freezing. #uniquelygranbury

    Episode 10: Celebration Capital of Texas

    Featured Guests: Chris Coffman (Granbury City Manager) and Rep. Shelby Slawson

    Excerpt (Rep. Shelby Slawson when asked if it was fun to help Granbury secure its celebratory designation): “So much fun! I mean, behind it is a lot of enthusiasm and energy from the community and from Tammy at Visit Granbury. And these are some of the most exciting things we can work on in the legislature, because it gets our people fired up and it really highlights communities that we know are the best part of the state and inviting others to come and see why."

    Excerpt (Tammy Dooley when asked if she was proud of securing this designation for Granbury): “It's the biggest thing I've ever been a part of, and I'm extremely proud for Granbury, Texas, to be known as the Celebration Capital of Texas. It is something that our entire staff is proud of. I think the city is proud of. More importantly, the people who live here have embraced it and they're proud of it."

    Overview: Locals live here because Granbury is alive with events and activities year-round. Visitors travel to Granbury to Celebrate everything! Festivals, history, patriotism, arts and culture, music, culinary, nature and recreation, lake activities, and even monarch butterflies. Add in girlfriend weekends, family reunions, weddings, conventions, car shows, and more, and that will give you just an idea of what Granbury has to offer.

    Episode 9: Cowboy Tourism

    Featured Guest: Wes Stevenson, Hall of Fame Cowboy

    Excerpt (Tammy Dooley when asked about Cowboy Tourism): “I can already smell the leather ... and see the boots ... and the cuisine is changing. Because it's the craze right now."

    Excerpt (Francie Stevenson when asked about her first impression of Granbury): “I love this community. I love the small-town of it. I love the friendliness of it - the community-feel. The minute we drove around the square, it felt like home."

    Overview: Cowboy Tourism – which celebrates anything and everything Western Heritage – is about to take off in Granbury, Texas. On this episode of Uniquely Granbury, we highlight three passionate people who are spearheading this cultural movement. Francie and Wes Stevenson launched the premiere rodeo event in Granbury - Hood County Stampede. Homer Robertson helped start the Texas Cowboy Symposium and Chuckwagon Cookoff, which now calls Granbury home. Is there more to come? All of our guests - as well as Visit Granbury's Tammy Dooley - have no doubt! #uniquelygranbury
