Stepping back to the 1888's wild west, I attended the second annual West Texas Windmill Days at Midland's Beal Park with my parents, Hazel and my sister's family. The festivities included a fishing contest, stagecoach and horseback rides, costume contest, historic vendors and artisans inculding photographer. The day ended with an original play "Judge Roy Bean's Ruling" portraying the "Law West of the Pecos". Thanks to event organizers "Texas Best" Midland's own volunter organization designed for interactive fun. Historical information on Midland At this time the city's residents obtained their water from wells with windmill pumps; virtually every house had a windmill in its yard, and Midland became known as "the Windmill Town."
