Cabin 10, Inc. was established in August of 2004, a little over one year from the day that our good friend Rice Harrington suddenly left this world we know. After a year of grieving, four good friends decided to channel our energy in a positive way to keep Rice’s legacy alive. Rice had always been a teacher, early on, unknowingly, to most anyone that made his acquaintance, then formally as a teacher of art. As the art teacher at San Marcos High School for over two decades, Rice was loved by his students and respected by his administration - so much so that in his memory, the
San Marcos Education Foundation established the Rice Harrington Art Scholarship, enabling graduating high school artists the ability to pursue their dreams of studying the arts at a higher level. To help fund this scholarship and support  higher education in the arts is our mission at Cabin 10, Inc.

Thus, Cabin 10, Inc.’s mission statement is quite simple:

To embrace the spirit and legacy of Rice Harrington as a community by gathering in support of education in the arts.

As shown in Dixie's sketch above, Cabin 10 is a real cabin, located at YMCA Camp Flaming Arrow in Hunt, Texas. It is an icon for the strong friendships that were made back when many of us first met the counselor of Cabin 10 - Rice Harrington.

Cabin 10, Inc. is a Texas 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) cultural non-profit corporation which each year hosts the Annual Rice Festival, the second weekend of November in celebration of Rice’s November 14th birthday. The festival is held at Historic Fischer Hall in beautiful Fischer Texas, rain or shine.

Festivities begin on Friday evening, with an intimate concert in the old hall, and is followed by a day long festival on Saturday,  a silent auction, a viewing gallery of Rice’s Art, a variety of vendors, good food and drink, and nonstop live music featuring the very best local and national Acoustic / Bluegrass / Americana / Folk / Roots music, from early in the afternoon till this or the other side of midnight.
