Good morning!!
I'm about an hour or so east of San Marcos and 15 minutes west of La Grange.
When is the best day/time to look at what the folks brought?
Thanks.

In my opinion, the BEST time would be Saturday, judging day.  Those who are coming will all be there by then and the cars will all be as spiffy as they are going to be.

Plus all the trailer queens will be out on display.  If you are that close you can make a daily trip to meet and greet.
