MADISONVILLE, TEXAS – SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14 The 22nd Annual Texas Mushroom Festival kicked off to some of the most beautiful weather Texas has experienced all year, to the great reprieve of all attending. Among them were those who entered their prized cars in the Auto Showcase this year, taking place in the large parking lot of Prosperity Bank. Sitting under the sun, music by DJ Ray carrying people from car to car. Of those entered, a few stood out to the people attending the festival and the judges themselves. Here are this year’s winners of the 2023 Texas Mushroom Festival Auto Showcase, sponsored by Bray’s Driving Classics.

All spooky stories were submitted by students in Madison County.

Winners, champs, superstars! You should see the Museum’s current exhibit. Though you were forewarned of our Madison County Champions (Plus Bedias) exhibit, of the 88 visitors that signed in on October 14, few were locals.

I wanted to come at this story from an angle of someone who has never experienced a Texas Mushroom Festival before, as someone who is new to Madisonville, and someone who is new to working in the media. The experience is threefold in that way, in that they harmonize despite how often they divulge into their own separate monophonies.
