Our
hometown: Floydada,
Texas
It's not
a tornado, although we have them here, it's a whirlwind
(a.k.a. dust devil). The whirlwind is the official mascot
of Floydada High School.
The Floydada Whirlwinds and
our neighbors just up the road in Lockney, whose mascot is the Longhorn, make
up Floyd County in the Texas Panhandle.
In the heart of cotton and cattle country, Floydada is small town Texas
at its best and is the home of TexasInaBox.Com. |

With
a population just under 4200, Floydada (click
here to learn how it got it's name)
is a friendly town located about an hour Northeast of Lubbock,
Texas and is surrounding by table-top flat, rich farmland
where cotton, corn, grain sorghum, and wheat is produced. |
| Oh
yeah, Floydada is also the Show Pumpkin Capital of the
USA! Many thousands of pounds of pumpkins are produced
in Floyd County. Floydada hosts its Pumpkin Days celebration
in October of each year. |

California Street |
Just
a look down California Street, where TexasInaBox.Com is
based, gives you a good idea of the small-town feel of
Floydada. Click on the picture and you'll see a larger
version showing you our neighbors - the marquee of the
old Palace Theater is easy to spot. You may also notice
that the streets are brick - no potholes here! |
