The Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo ... on the grounds of 
Parks and Wildlife headquarters in Austin ... offers 
visitors a chance to participate in a wide variety of 
outdoor activities.
 
"Oh, Expo has got a little bit of everything."

Ernie Gammage is Expo Director. The event takes place 
this weekend, October 7 & 8, from 9 to 5 both days.

"You can shoot, you can mountain bike, you can kayak, you can 
actually fish, you can learn all about camping and outdoor 
skills. We have rock climbing walls; we have all kinds of 
animals ... demonstrations ... workshops ... seminars ... ."

We understand so much variety can seem overwhelming.

"And, my advice would be to spend some time on the web site if 
you can, and make a list of those things that you would like to 
do. Do you want to mountain bike, do you want to shoot, do 
you want to fish, do you want to learn about camping, and then 
make a beeline for those things. And too many times, people 
want to visit everything, visit everything, see everything, and 
then decide to do something. And if you do that, by the end of 
the day, you haven't done anything."

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

"If you love the outdoors ... if you think you'd love the outdoors ... 
or if you just want to have a great day in the outdoors ... try the 
Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo."

That's our show for today ... supported by the Sport Fish 
and Wildlife Restoration Program ... For Texas Parks and
