The old artwork for Cabin 10 was retired in 2014 when the festival changed from Rice Festival to Fischer Festival. We adopted new artwork for our logo which is a drawing by Deb Yager of Fischer Hall.
History of Cabin 10, Inc., ~ Rice Festival
Rice Harrington passed away in July 2003. Four of his close friends formed Cabin 10, Inc. in August of 2004 to host the Rice Festival, to “keep a good man’s vibe alive”, and to provide continued funding for The Rice Harrington Art Scholarship, presented each year to graduating art students from San Marcos High School.Cabin 10 Inc.’s mission statement is quite simple:
To continue the tradition of American Roots Music in Fischer, Texas as a community, by supporting the artists and funding education in the arts.
Cabin 10 was a real cabin located at YMCA Camp Flaming Arrow, in Hunt, Texas. Although no longer standing, it remains an icon for the strong friendships that were forged by the original Bored members and the counselor of Cabin 10 – Rice Harrington. As the torch of friendship has been passed along to a new Bored of Directors, this icon has grown to also represent the many friendships that have been made through this original unselfish action of friends honoring friends. As this “Company of Friends” known as Fischer Fest, moves forward under a different name, we will strive to honor the same vibe and spirit as when it was created.
