Pistons On The Bricks, a car show and photography event, was hosted January 20 in Bartlett by the Texas Photography Festival and the Williamson Museum.  Attendees enjoyed presentations by photographers Tricia Zeigler, Egidio Leitao and Bridgett Piernik-Yoder.  A few vintage cars were also along East Clark Street in downtown Bartlett.  Visitors also had the chance to wander around town and see inside some of the historic structures, plus visit with period-dressed reenactors. This was a pop up event leading up the the Texas Photography Festival in March in Georgetown.
