This is a wonderful market, worth the trip alone. They are open Monday through Saturday, from 6 AM to 7 PM, and on Sunday from 9 AM to 5:30 PM. Phone is 940-759-4211. Viewing is free, and while Fischer's parking lot can fill up, there is plenty of parking on the streets. Their
website indicates that the clock show runs only during store hours.
This is the only animated town clock of its kind in Texas, with seven figures coming out from behind the "Meat Market" sign for about five minutes each hour. The characters are "Sausage Man," "Milkmaid", "Cow," "Fraulein," "Dancers," "Bear," and "King." They spin on their own axes while they go 'round and 'round, accompanied by festive German music. There is an identical clock face on the other side of the tower, but there is no animation to go with it. The clocks themselves are nothing fancy, with typical hands and Roman numerals in black on a white background.
