Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo evolves to meet the 
changing needs and interests of the outdoor enthusiast. 
Expo Director Ernie Gammage.
 
One of the great new things that we're going to have this year is 
a program on outdoor gear for women. It will be a presentation 
in the main tent. And we'll have not only gear and clothes, but 
also things that make recreating in the outdoors easier for 
women ... different ways to get a kayak around, and the best 
way to buy a firearm that's scaled for a woman, for example. 
We're really looking forward to that. 

Expo is free to attend, and is scheduled Saturday and 
Sunday, October 7 & 8 on the grounds of Texas Parks and 
Wildlife in Austin. Another new activity this year involves 
the national organization Leave No Trace ... 

 ... this is an ethically based program of seven principles about 
the outdoors. And it will be a chance to introduce the public to 
the basics of how do you act when you go in the outdoors. And 
there will be activities surrounding that. 

Are you competitive? If you think you can cast better than 
most, come to Expo the first weekend in October and put 
your skills to the test.

We're working with Texas Bass Federation Nation to actually 
hold a casting competition at Expo this year. The winners of 
which can win prizes and all sorts of exciting things. 

You'll find complete details about the 2006 Texas Parks 
and Wildlife Expo on the TPWD web site.
