The Jane Long Festival 2011
was a huge success. Gun fire could be heard from the Bolivar Peninsula-Galveston Ferry and clear across the Galveston Bay from the Cowboy Shooters. The play "Pirates and Petticoats" was a huge hit and enjoyed by all. The hilarious play written and directed by Linda Ellisalde depicted the life of Jane Long during the 19th century here on the Bolivar Peninsula. Over 1500 people showed up for the special event on the Bolivar Peninsula @ Fort Travis Seashore Park On October 8, 2011.
Thank you to our sponsors, vendors and visitors that showed up to our Galveston County area annual event. Winners and Honorable Mentions of the Jane Long Festival Childrens Art Contest. Schools from the Galveston County area that submitted work were Crenshaw School, High Island School and Satori School. It was a difficult decision, as the judges chose between several pieces of beautiful childrens artwork for the Jane Long Festival. Three way switch entertained the crowd for hours with their catchy melodies. Derek Anderson Duncan entertained the crowd as the COWBOY POET from Elysian Fields, Texas. His humorous poems were a delight for all that listened about his numerous adventures.
