Earth Day Celebration 2024

Please note, our Earth Day Celebration 2024 became a time to honor Board Member Sydney Kuehler. Sydney passed away on April 13, 2024. Inclement weather, (rain, lightening, and thunderstorms) prevented us from having most of our planned Earth Day Celebration activities.

Join us on April 20th, 10am-2pm, at the Park for Earth Day festivities.

  • Art making for kids and adults! Join artists Brenda McKinney and Josh NIccolai-Belfi in making an art masterpiece.

  • Learn about easy sustainable practices - rainwater collection, solar powered batteries, and rain guzzlers for wildlife.

  • Artist talks. Learn about the sculptures in the Art Park collection.

  • Need some exercise? Take a short hike along the north ridge.

  • Sun calendar. Randolph Barnett will talk about his hand-built sun calendar.

  • Electrify! Learn about electric and hybrid cars, including the Tesla and Prius.

  • Entertainment! The Munday CISD Band will play for us and the resident horned frogs and rattlesnakes.

  • And of course, there’s food! At noon – enjoy a grilled hot dog lunch for FREE.
