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, and that "This is the only known glockenspiel in the state of Texas and there are only three or four known in the United States."
The show lasts for about five minutes every hour, with seven figures coming out from behind the "Meat Market" sign. 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.
