CenturyLink Internet Plans start at $45/mo in Conroe

You know all about the Alamo, the Lone Star flag, and not messing with Texas, but did you know the state famous for its cowboys and high deserts is also home to a popular Renaissance Festival? Newest Conroe resident, get ready to meet the Texas you never knew existed.

The Conroe-based Renaissance reenactment rolls through the Lone Star State at the end of September and sticks around until the day after Thanksgiving. The festivities include more than just Renaissance reenactments: you can kick off the celebration with Oktoberfest, sign up for a pirate-themed weekend, or take part in a Scottish fest, depending on where your fancy takes you.

Plus, unlike most of Texas, Conroe doesn't run short on water (hence the aforementioned pirate adventure). At the Conroe Aquatic Center, you and the kids can sign up for swimming lessons, enjoy steep waterslides, or swim a few laps. Or if your prefer the great outdoors to human-constructed recreation, head to magnificent Lake Conroe. You can visit the lighthouse, take a walk through Sam Houston National Forest, or spend a sunny day noodling catfish and catching striped bass.

Of course, if you're craving a return to good old-fashioned Texas, CenturyLink high-speed internet can get you there. Available all over town, CenturyLink lets you connect to your favorite streaming platform with ease. If you need a break from the da Vinci impersonators and sunburnt mariners, John Wayne will be there to welcome you at the end of the day.
