LBJ TREE LIGHTING: Celebrate the season at the LBJ State 
Park and Historic Site...coming up on Passport to Texas ... 
__________________________________________________________

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

This Sunday celebrate the season - Hill Country Style -- at 
the thirty-sixth annual holiday tree lighting at the Lyndon 
B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site. A gorgeous native 
cedar will be aglow at the Visitor's Center ... and that's 
just the beginning. 

"We actually have bus tours that take you across to the 
National Park side, and you are able to see the Texas 
White House lit up - the boyhood home - and the school. 
And then you can go down to the Sauer Beckman Living 
History Farm for a candlelit tour through the cabins and 
also the Sauer home and Beckman home with refreshments 
and activities as well."

Park superintendent, Iris Neffendorf, says interpreters 
will even don period clothing befitting a 1900's era Texas 
German farm family.
 
"Then also up at the visitor complex, we also have a gift 
shop and a bookstore that will be open. We have a lady who 
is doing ornament painting. And you're able to make your 
own ornament and take it home. And we'll have live music 
from the Boerne Village Band, which is the oldest village 
band in North America. And other entertainment like 
Santa Claus coming as well."

Festivities begins at 6 p.m. Find all details on the events 
calendar on the TPWD website.

That's our show ... For Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm
