Halloween in State Parks, 1

This is Passport to Texas
Fall is a great time to visit a state park. In addition to festivals, our SP guide Bryan Frazier says visitors can also experience the darker side of the outdoors at State Parks this Halloween season.
And so we have some events at Estero Llano Grande SP. It’s their 6th annual spooky science fest. And they do crafts for the kids and interpretive programs with park rangers, and talk about some of the things that people are a little bit uncomfortable with maybe at night.
But really in a park environment—a lot of these animals are nocturnal. We’re able to show them some of these animals: some of the birds and the bats and the mammals and things. And really let’s children, in particular, be a lot more comfortable with what’s happening in the dark.
Because, life goes on in a park after dark. In fact, a lot of animals only come out at night. And so it’s a great chance to see and experience and talk about some of those things they may not get a chance to [otherwise]. But we’ve got a lot of events; there’s Halloween at the Hatchery, and that’s at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, and then the Halloween Fun and Games event at Lake Texana SP in Edna, Texas.
So check our calendar of events for Halloween and Fall festival events in State Parks.
Thanks, Bryan!
That’s our show for today…with funding provided by Chevrolet, supporting outdoor recreation in Texas; because there’s life to be done.
