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

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

Those who love state parks - and the holidays - have 
been waiting anxiously for the release of the 2007 edition 
of the state parks Christmas ornament.

Two thousand two was the debut of our first Christmas 
ornament, and it has become sort of a collectible. :05

Bryan Frazier handles promotions and marketing for state 
parks. The gold-plated brass ornament is only $4.95 plus 
tax. It can be had for free through December 31 with the 
purchase of a state parks pass gift certificate. 

It's sixty dollars. And it comes in a nice little gift box with a gift 
card that the gift certificate fits in. Then the ornament fits 
inside the gift box. :08

The parks pass allows the twelve months of free entry to 
state parks for everyone in their vehicle.

That begins when they redeem the gift certificate. So, if you 
know y our cousin - who is a state park person - is not going to 
go to the parks for a few months, the gift certificate is a perfect 
gift, because their twelve months don't begin until they redeem 
the gift certificate at the park. :13

Interested in giving the gift of state parks to someone 
you know - or even to yourself? The money you spend 
helps to support Texas' 115 state parks. To learn more go 
to the Texas Parks and Wildlife website, visit a state park 
near you, or call 512.389.8900. 

That's our show for today ... thank you for joining us... for 
Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm Cecilia Nasti.
