"It's important I deliver a great show and a good time."
Miranda Lambert
So many times, presentation makes a big difference, whether it's in a musical performance or a work of visual art. We're excited about the expansion of Lindale Candy Company, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this week. Jeremiah and Kaitlin Cagle are inviting everyone to see the factory's expansion which includes new viewing areas of two candy kitchens.
The Cagles' investment in their company's presentation — including beautiful new murals on the outside walls — is helping Lindale draw more visitors. Musician Miranda Lambert did the same when she opened the Pink Pistol boutique in her hometown of Lindale a few years ago.
