STATE PARKS -- TEXAS INDEPENDENCE: Independence so nice, 
we celebrate twice ... details on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

This year on March 3, you have two chances to celebrate 
Texas Independence at historic state parks. Our State Park 
guide Bryan Frazier has the details.

64 -- One of them of course is WOB SHS which is considered the 
birthplace of Texas. So, they're going to pull out all the stops as 
they always do for Texas Independence Day at WOB SHS which is 
just outside of Brenham, if people are looking to go there. Every 
year thousands of people show up and there's lots of different 
activities; there'll be re-enactors in period costumes there. Food 
vendors. So, check it out. If you're a Texan that needs to be 
something you add to the list to do sometime. This year would be 
a great year. We're also doing it at Fort Richardson SP and SHS, 
and that's in Jacksboro, TX, which is west of FT Worth about an 
hour and a half. And the interesting thing about Ft. Richardson is 
the re-enactors they have are going to be in period costume from 
various periods throughout Texas. The fort was from 1860s to 
1870s; there are seven restored frontier fort buildings at Ft. 
Richardson. So it makes an even neater backdrop to celebrate 
Texas independence Day. So, check it out on our website at 
texasstateparks.org.

That's our show for today ... with funding provided by 
Chevrolet, supporting outdoor recreation in Texas; because 
there's life to be done.
