You don't look a day over 150

Man, they really dropped the ball with this celebration.

Anyway, happy 300th you old fart.

damn that was today? wasnt there supposed to be a big spectacle going on about it

Today was the day Mission San Antonio de Valero was established which is the day the city recognizes as the birthday.

Agree with the statements above. This 300 celebration has been a huge dud so far, including the 1970s style disco 300 logo.

I think I heard there were going to fireworks this weekend along the Mission Reach, but I dunno about the details.

They could have made something interesting with all this, but didn't.

By an agreement between sister city mayors, the original founding documents of San Antonio and Bexar County have arrived here from Guadalajara in time for Founder's Day on Thursday, the third day of San Antonio's Tricentennial Commemorative Week.

It is very beautiful, and given these circumstances, the settlement may enjoy the most pure breezes and also the waters which flow from the two naturally formed springs or fountains on a slightly elevated hill located a short distance to the northeast of the presidio of Bjar.

Then beginning on Monday, May 7, the documents will go on display to the public at the Texas A&M University-San Antonio's Presidio Gallery in the Bexar County Archives Building downtown.

The Presidio Gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. The founding documents will be on display through September, along with other original documents pertinent to San Antonio's long history, including a copy of the 1836 Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Texas.
