I LOVE HOW SHE SAID ITS OUR TRADITION, ACTUALLY IT BRINGS BACK GREAT PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF OUR ANCESTORS TRUE IS KEEPS US ALIVE KEEP THE LEGACY ROLLING IN TIME
I am so blessed to have married into this wonderful community! I pray every Sunday at Mass for the continuation of our church and our Thanksgiving festival.
That is an Awesome story. I wish I could help but I live totally across the State. I still might even try to make it. This is precisely why TCR was created. To highlight such wonderful heartwarming stories like these instead of the junk on the news nowdays. Thanks TCR
Definitely some of the best sausage my family had saw the video a few months ago and made the trip from San angelo tx bought 15 pounds worth the drive people 11/25/2020
Oh man, I can only imagine how good the sausage and bread is. Get some fresh stone ground mustard and maybe some warm sauerkraut to go with it....ughh....what I wouldn't give right now.
My mother used to smoke sausages. Portuguese sausages and blood sausage. A whole pig slaughtered for bacon, sausages, ribs, chops, pork bellies . The feet, tail, knees, and feet were also used. Can’t do it anymore. Family shrunk, the strength is gone. She is still alive and bakes bread every two weeks. Same as they do at your featured story. The store bread is crunchy at the crust And fluffy within , but it is full of bromide. Besides, she is a stickler for perfection , the right flour , ingredients, the proper environment for loaves to grow. Home made is the way to go for taste a nutrition’s sake. Glad others carry in the tradition.
This community does have its savior look from within change this to a monthly thing and it will help this community also appeal to others to bring the same thing to create jobs and save the town
I know how it is, I'm from a small town, I went to Dallas I had enough after a few minutes of traffic, Austin and Houston are the same, nice to visit but I'll take my two redlights over the stressful congestion of city life.
Me, too. I lived for 55 years in Houston since I was born there. I love Houston, it's a beautiful city, but the traffic is murder. I drove those freeways and know about the stressful congestion. I moved to within 50 miles of Austin and found Austin's freeways are the same. I now live in a rural area and maybe pass one car in 7 miles to the nearest little town. Which one would you take?
@Cobb Knobbler 👍 I agree with you Cobb Knobbler. I was born in Oklahoma but raised in SoCal, living mid state now. It's a little bit better but.........
@Cobb Knobbler From where we live, two hours East or West, will get us to the Sea Shore or, the mountains, sunny shores or, snowy mountain areas. Yes Sir, the powers that be in Sac and, the ppl who keep voting them in is the reason for the decay.
I hope Keith and Byron see this video. Maybe they will help keep the history alive. My sons were born in Littlefield Hospital and raised in Pep, Texas. Thanksgiving was a huge event in Pep. All the ladies cooked two 40 pound turkeys and 10 pounds of dressing, ten pies, ten cakes, and ten loaves of bread. We served 100's of people Lunch and Dinner. Then the dance with great live bands that lasted way into the night. So sad to see all that lost in the past and remembered only by the people who experienced it all. Most dead and gone or the young moved away. A piece of history in Texas gone.
Though Bob explains why the town is what it is I still don't get how time forgot it. Of course it's probably great for the family. Living in peace and quiet.
I understand the huge Thanksgiving lunch/dinner. When do they sell sausage, Wednesday before Thanksgiving? or is this a separate event? Want to schedule a trip from Houston to be a part of this historic Texas event
Nice story & hope they can keep tradition going - BUT: ..."we always pray and hope for new families to come in"... - - I wonder if they really mean it. Would they still 'pray for new families' if they weren't white? Brown, Black, Asian....?? 🤔
I don't get it. If the product is so good, why make it to sell once a year? The only way to increase the local population is to create jobs by turning that place into a daily enterprise, no?
@@vgarza1972 Except that needing the money for the church is all they talk about. I think the reason they don't is that the people that make the bread and sausage also work their farms. They mention that instead of bringing in their wheat and cotton, for one day they volunteer for the church.
Amazing story! I hope the sausage, bread and church go on forever! 🤠
I LOVE HOW SHE SAID ITS OUR TRADITION, ACTUALLY IT BRINGS BACK GREAT PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF OUR ANCESTORS
TRUE IS KEEPS US ALIVE KEEP THE LEGACY ROLLING IN TIME
God Bless Texas. Real people. Real values.

Beautiful town of people" oh the sausage and bread" now that is all I would need yes indeed.
Definitely some of the best sausage my family had saw the video a few months ago and made the trip from San angelo tx bought 15 pounds worth the drive people 11/25/2020
Man, I bet the sausage and bread is to die for there!! Would love to make the trip just to bring some back home!!!
That’s a pretty good story, I enjoyed it😂 Good sausage is so hard to find🔥
If people are buying sausage by the hundreds than that must be some heavenly sausage that I gotta try!
that wind hauling gives me a good feelin'
I loved to live inTexas!
that's a wonderful story...
Oh man, I can only imagine how good the sausage and bread is. Get some fresh stone ground mustard and maybe some warm sauerkraut to go with it....ughh....what I wouldn't give right now.
I live in Littlefield, Tx & Pep is only about 19 miles from here.
beautiful, real life, some hard work too

Really like your episodes. Nice stories and well done.

Buying $1000 worth of sausage...save some for the rest of us
Glorious

Amazing and sweet story!
plus you got good people in small communities, there is a bond there you don't get with the city.
Though Bob explains why the town is what it is I still don't get how time forgot it.
Of course it's probably great for the family. Living in peace and quiet.
How can I order some Bread and sausage and have it sent to me by UPS or Fed-X to Blessing, Texas?
God bless Texas PEP
I don't miss the wind but the people !
Heart of dixie
God bless
🐢 I’m having turtle soup and a red birds tongue tonight for dinner
Link our chamber of commerce keep the special relationship special.
Hey we have St Philip Neri Catholic Church in Kinder La!!!!
Wow que bacana adorei tenho vontade de morar nesse lugar lindo! Gosto muito das passagem do modelo das casas
Hard to see a small town die
I love good, smoked sausage. I am first born in the US of German parents. The Germans make good sausage. Its a good way.
What became of pep. It's now 9 years later
You would think they would show the sausage a tad bit more.
Bucket list.
What day???
I understand the huge Thanksgiving lunch/dinner. When do they sell sausage, Wednesday before Thanksgiving? or is this a separate event? Want to schedule a trip from Houston to be a part of this historic Texas event
Ray Peters I'm looking for the same info
Google search is coming up short
They begin selling the sausage on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and then they sell it on Thanksgiving day as well, until they run out!
Ray Peters min
In this video exposed armpits seems pretty normal at the kitchen.
why not all year round on Wednesday's
I'm 26 just.
Tradition is dying all across america, unfortunately. It REALLY is a shame.
population of 35, wow
Nice story & hope they can keep tradition going - BUT:
..."we always pray and hope for new families to come in"... - - I wonder if they really mean it. Would they still 'pray for new families' if they weren't white? Brown, Black, Asian....?? 🤔
Oh look? 12 vegans didn’t like this video. Poor thangs. 😂
I wonder how far they have to drive to an actual town to get stuff other than sausage and bread?
slhines7 The nearby towns with stores are Littlefield, Amherst, Sudan, and Morton.
Dang and those towns sound very far away..
About 20 miles. :)
NO WAY, for real?
I knew instantly it had to be German,
Love this show love these episodes could do without the sad piano music every time cheap theatrics
I don't get it. If the product is so good, why make it to sell once a year? The only way to increase the local population is to create jobs by turning that place into a daily enterprise, no?
Can anybody answer George please?
Because it's about tradition not so much the money, otherwise it would burn out the community. It's the same way in St. Lawrence Texas.

Isnt the only sausage that he's packing
German ugh
Another church scam
You are a very sad person
