Like many historic towns in these United States, Fredericksburg, Texas finds itself divided between those who are looking for progress and those looking to maintain the dwindling German farming community. Intermarried family members feud among themselves, with terrible consequences, and old ways begin losing ground to the lure of money and slick tourist attractions that are promised. Out of the ashes of the old, a new town emerges, while a family implodes in on itself. And over it all, the oldest fair in Texas, the Gillespie Country Fair, acts a bizarre backdrop to both history and promise for the future. Do you love the country you grew up in by preservation? Or through destruction? Marc Hess leads the way.
