Check the yellow pages for a horse/livestock feed store that is nearby to you. It's may be a buck or two more expensive per bale than going to someone that someone knows, but the time and gas costs will usually offset that.

Try this one for starters, just found them via Google: http://www.arcolafeed.com/ If they aren't close maybe they can point you in the right direction.

How soon do you need it and how much do you want?

Look for straw instead of hay, if you can find it. Less weeds, seeds, and dust in case anyone is allergic, since you want to use it for a prop. Not sure if you can find straw down here, though. No clue if Texans grow many oats.

sounds like you are already set up, but where they sell those huge displays of pumpkins, they also sell bales of straw, at prices that would make any farmer laugh at the city-slickers.

but it's a sure source. Y do I no? My wife-let has dragged a couple home in the past.

take some pics of the kids in the pumpkins while you are there.

Oh, almost forgot, put an old blanket in your car trunk, other-wise you will never, ever get all the straw out, no matter how you vacumn.
