that supports state parks ... Details ahead on Passport to 
Texas

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

A Christmas collectible that supports state parks debuted 
during Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo last month.

We have different park ornaments for specific state parks. And 
then we have the state park system ornament, which is what 
debuted at Expo, and what we're introducing now. It's actually 
the oh-seven model; it's kind of like a car - it comes out a year 
ahead of time. :12

Bryan Frazier handles promotions and marketing for state 
parks, and describes this gold-plated, brass ornament.

It features Indian Lodge, Mission Tejas ... it has a little icon of a 
crested caracara bird, and a black-eyed Susan wildflower, and a 
kayak, and some other things. People who have these have 
come to look for them and they've really become a popular 
collector's item throughout our state park system. :17

The ornaments are only $4.95 plus tax, and available at 
all Texas state parks.

The money, when they purchase an ornament, goes to benefit 
state parks, and people realize that as well - that they're 
making a little difference, and taking a little token of state 
parks back with them. :09
