The Texas Fence Association
(TFA) returned to the historic Menger
Hotel in San Antonio for its 2019 "To-
tally 80s" Holiday Party Dec. 6-7.
The hotel was built in 1859, not
long after the final battle of the Texas
Revolution, and is saturated with Tex-
as history. It is located near the Ala-
mo, a Texas landmark.
Texas Fence Association folks
party like it's 1859
If you could not be there, here are
some snapshots from the event. Many
more events are coming up so check

TFA is a chapter of the American
Fence Association and is comprised
of 158 manufacturers, distributors and
contractors in the fence industry.
