Ann, they weren't taping an episode of the show but it was a weekend celebration for the grand opening of the new location of Joanna's business, Magnolia Market. They purchased some Silos (old cotton oil processing plant) in downtown Waco and moved the market/store from a mile or so away to the Silos property :

There was a stage set up on the property with a band playing during the day, food trucks lining the property for folks wanting to grab a bite to eat; games on the grounds for the kiddo's and a pumpkin patch too. The market was open for shoppers and boy were they doing a heck of a lot of business, lines to the registers were unbelievable. I had fun window shopping but didn't purchase anything because their prices are a bit high in my opinion. Both Friday and Saturday nights Chip and Joanna were on stage to chat a bit and welcome the crowds and the group Johnnyswim played. My friends and I drove all over the Waco area (which isn't all that large, LOL) and we found Chip and Joanna's farm house and stopped along the highway to take pictures. I even took a picture of their horse that was out by the fence along the roadway.
We also went to Harp Design Co. which is their carpenter Clint Harp's business. Chip and Joanna refurbished a home in downtown Waco for them and it was featured on an episode of their show and their home is right next door to their business which we thought was fun.
