Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife 

Whether you're planning to visit, or live there already, 
there are enough outdoor opportunities at Panhandle 
Plains state parks to keep you informed, active and 
entertained.

Age has it's rewards. Because from 9 to noon, Wednesday, 
April 12, San Angelo State Park hosts the Silver 
Bluebonnet Event, for senior citizens. Attendees can 
participate in seminars on wildflowers, birds and the 
park's bison, as well as enjoy a free lunch. Call the park 
for details.

Spend a weekend this month at Caprock Canyon SP & 
Trailway. Every Saturday, participate in guided hikes and 
discussions ... and focus on the history, geology and the 
flora and fauna of the park. Then, on Sunday, learn how 
the early settlers of the Texas Panhandle Plains made 
tasty meals using a Dutch oven and a few coals from the 
campfire at the Cowboy Breakfast sampler & demo.

And for the kids in the audience ... Lake Brownwood SP 
has its 9th Annual Spring Open House and Youth 
Outdoors Day ... on April 28 and 29. School kids get in free 
Friday, and will be treated to special outdoor education 
exhibits. Saturday continues with free entrance and 
exhibits open to the general public. 

Visit the calendar section of the TPWD web site for more 
information, including times, fees and phone numbers, 
for these and other events.

That's our show for today. Thank you for joining us.

For Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm Cecilia Nasti.
