You may want to reserve June
30. That is the first of the two -
day First Luckenbach World
Fair which started out to be
small arts and crafts fair and
just grew. Luckenbach
( Fredericksburg is near) has a
little known almost claim to
fame. Back in 1865, 38 years
before the Wright brothers made
history, Jack Brodbeck, a
Luckenbach school teacher,
made an airplane which
reportedly flew higher and
longer than the Wright's.
Unfortunately the vehicle
crashed, the inventor broke his
leg, lost his financial backing
and was lost in history.
The World Fair may be
Luckenbach's second claim to
near fame.
