STATE PARK STORES: Find out what's "in store" at your 
favorite state park ... details on Passport to Texas

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

The worst part about visiting a state park is leaving. Yet, 
if you make your last activity a shopping spree at the 
state park store before driving away, you'll depart with 
more than memories.

Our park stores are mainly an extension of the park experience.

Tony Lucio (loo-she-oh) oversees state park stores for 
Texas Parks and Wildlife. The park stores sell a wide 
variety of keepsakes and educational gifts that help to 
generate income for each location.

We want to provide our users, and our customers, a little 
something - whether it's an educational product - or something 
that will help enhance the experience. And so, they can take 
home some sort of memory of the park to commemorate their 
experience visiting the state parks. :16

You'll find a wide variety of mementos in the stores - 
many specific to the site you're visiting -- although some 
items rank high as visitor favorites.

Probably our number one and number two sellers in our park 
stores are our t-shirts and caps. Three and four would be our 
books. And then patches and magnets. :09

A perennial favorite this time of year is the state park 
Christmas ornament. Find out how you can get one for 
free tomorrow.

That's our show for today ... For Texas Parks and 
Wildlife ... I'm Cecilia Nasti
