Geocache Description:

Easy find at a now defunct, but once iconic, establishment in the community of Manchaca.

The original home of the Manchaca Volunteer Fire Department, the Hall included a kitchen, dance floor, and general gathering spot for a variety of organizations.

The kitchen, in operation since 1981 by Clarence Vogel, was (ironically) shut down by the County Commissioner's Court in 2010 after fire inspectors found a number of safety code violations.

The Vogel's weren't able to raise the cash needed to renovate the place, and it is now (sadly) no longer much of a community hub.

In honor of Clarence I've (belatedly) donated a little cache to the cause.

Congrats to BulldogBlitz on the FTF!
