This is Passport to Texas

Trim your tree with Texas pride; it’s easy with a State Park Christmas Ornament. Bryan Frazier explains.

Every year we do a commemorative state park Christmas ornament. They’re very popular, and people buy lots of them.

This year is a little bit special: it’s the tenth anniversary of state parks issuing a commemorative ornament. And this one is different in the way it looks, too. The other ones are a nice shiny brass; this one is color. And it has little icons of various things that are legendary to Texas.

There’s the San Jacinto Monument, there’s the Goliad Mission Espirito Santo… So there’s things that are really treasured about Texas that are featured in this ornament. And it’s for $8.95, plus shipping and tax.

If a person buys a state park gift card for a hundred dollars or more they’ll get a free commemorative ornament. If you buy a state park gift card for fifty dollars or more, you’ll get a 20% discount on the ornament.

You can buy the ornament separate, You can buy the gift card separate, but if you buy those amounts, then you get either a free or a discounted ornament. And all of this can only be done through our customer service center in State Parks by calling 512.389.8900.

That’s our show for today…with funding provided by Chevrolet, supporting outdoor recreation in Texas; because there’s life to be done.
