The first weekend of spring break in Archer City—March 8 and 9—offers an exciting lineup of activities around the square for local denizens as well as tourists from near and far. These include the preview opening of the Larry McMurtry Literary Center, an open house at Aulds Classic Cars and a Texasville Opry performance at the Royal Theater. It is a triad of classic collections: of books, cars and music.
