Henry Purl Compton (known as “Okra”) who served in the American Expeditionary Forces sent them to his mother. She planted them at her home which is now 507 East 7th Street. From there\, they were spread (by birds\, bees\, and people!) down the river and over much of Old Town. \nA Georgetown and Central Texas tradition\, the Red Poppy Festival is a time to enjoy family and friends\, music\, food\, and fun. Free to the public. \n URL:https://www.texasworldwar1centennial.org/calander/red-poppy-festival/ LOCATION:103 W. 7th St.\, Georgetown\, TX\, 78626\, United States END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
