Episode 13: Founder's Day Bean QueenFeatured Guests: Cheshe Langford, Tammy Dooley, Diane Hedges, Kim Fancher, Barbara Boozer and  Vicki RisingerExcerpt (Tammy Dooley discussing Founder's Day and the Bean Queen tradition): “It's just an opportunity to celebrate who we are and tell our story. A lot of cities have their events, but you need to be true to yourself - who you are in Granbury. (Founder's Day) is a down-home, local celebration that we get to invite people in to be part of who we are. "Overview: This episode of Uniquely Granbury lives up to the name of this podcast series, focusing on the community's most unique event and its "icing on the cake" ... the one-of-a-kind Bean Queen!  Every Spring, this distinct honor is handed down as part of Granbury’s Founder’s Day celebration. It is given to a community member who has a servant heart and embodies the spirit of the town. This unique tradition started in 1983 and has turned into the event’s crown jewel. On this podcast, we share conversations with former Bean Queens, which use words like "special," "fun" and "honor" to describe their out-of-the-pot experience. #uniquelygranbury  Links:– Historic Granbury Merchants Association: Web Site– Founder's Day: Web Site– City of Granbury: Web Site– Visit Granbury: Web Site– Granbury Events: Online CalendarUniquely Granbury is spearheaded by Visit Granbury.This is a production of the Granbury Convention and Visitors Bureau.
