Upcoming Events
It is with heavy hearts that we remember a truly remarkable friend and supporter of our Frontier Times Museum, Mary Schenk. Mary was not just a horsewoman and a talented writer; she was a music lover with an extraordinary spirit that touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her delightful warmth and quick wit brought joy to our days, and her memory will forever remain in our hearts.
To honor Mary and the incredible legacy she leaves behind, the Frontier Times Troubadours will hold a special musical tribute. This celebration is a heartfelt reminder of her indelible spirit and her zest for life. We invite you to join us on Sunday, April 26th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Frontier Times Museum Free Cowboy Jamboree on the museum grounds at 510 13th Street, Bandera, TX.
Let’s come together to share our favorite stories of Mary, reminisce about the laughter and joy she brought into our lives, and celebrate the beautiful spirit she was. Your presence would mean so much as we pay tribute to a beloved friend who will be deeply missed.
