ENTERTAINMENT
Get ready to experience "the epitome" of Texas! That's how internationally known Country Music Star Miranda Lambert describes Lindale, Texas. This is where her journey to superstardom began and the place she still calls Home.
Even with its burst of growth, Lindale sparkles with small-town, Texas charm. The Downtown Cannery district is a prime example of preserving history while embracing growth. Housed in one of the oldest cannery buildings in Lindale, the Downtown District has been re-developed into a “Live, Play, and Work" environment. And, staying true to our musical roots, The Cannery features five different concert venues with state-of-the-art sound and technology.
From one-of-a-kind shopping to lively Texas music, Lindale isn't just a place to visit, it is an experience to be had!
Miranda Lambert
Miranda Lambert may be a Country Music Superstar, but to the folks in Lindale, she's more than that. She's our Hometown Girl!
It was in our little corner of the world that Miranda heard her first country tune, wrote her first country song, sang her first country note. That charming twang of hers comes as natural as a bluebird's song in Spring. "I'm from East Texas. I can't change my accent. And no matter what I sing, it's country music."
Aren't we glad!
"Lindale, to me, is my foundation. Between my family and this place, it's who I am and why I can go out there and do all the things that I do."
And boy, has she done a lot!
Miranda is now the most nominated female artist in CMA history. And in 2022, she won the Academy of Country Music Awards' biggest prize -- Entertainer of the Year.
But even with all Miranda's success, she still draws from her roots. Of her album, Wildcard, she says, "When people listen to this record, I want them to know that I see them and hear them. I feel you, because I'm just a girl from East Texas, writing about all the things that go on in my world and in the worlds of people around me."
Lindale is the heart of Miranda's world. Visitors, or as we like to call 'em--Guests-- come from all over to experience the downhome, country life that is Miranda.
As her momma, Bev, puts it, "She's a Texas girl. She's born and bred... It's in her spirit and it shows in her life."
It shows in our community, too.
Welcome to Lindale, y'all.
MUTTNATION STATION
Miranda's love for animals has always been an important part of who she is. While volunteering at local shelters, Miranda adopted her first pup, Delilah, as a companion when she started touring. A few years down the road, Miranda and her momma, Bev, founded MuttNation Foundation, an organization with a mission to end animal suffering and homelessness on every front.
Including the Lindale front.
While in town, guests and their fur-families are invited to visit Lindale's leash-free City Dog Park located behind MuttNation Station, a "paw"-some adoption center created from a restored 1907 home. The house, once belonging to the Lindale City Marshal, was relocated to the northwest corner of Darden Harvest Park and renovated by Miranda's MuttNation, Greater Good, and Rescue Rebuild.
MuttNation Station gives adoptees a chance to see how pets will act in a home-like setting, which, we've learned, greatly increases adoption rates. Owners can also bring their current fur-babies to interact with the rescue pups to determine how they may get along. In addition, Tyler Junior College Vet Tech Program provides all spay and neuter services, temperament testing, and shots. Not only does this collaboration give students hands-on training, but it gifts new pet-parents with the services their fur-babies need.
Local dog-lovers and guests alike are invited to enjoy this pet-social center and outdoor community created by Miranda with their fur-families in mind. Lindale also offers pet-friendly hotel accommodations, so don't leave home without them!
In 2020, Miranda's MuttNation Foundation is celebrating its 11th Anniversary. Since its inception in 2009, MuttNation has raised over $4.5 million in support of shelters and of its mission to promote the adoption of rescue pets.
