Get dirty for a good cause when you make seed balls for the Wildflower Meadow! We'll follow the historical markers to find the Texas Invasives station, become more informed on native plants, and enjoy fun hands-on activities. Experts in period costumes will be on hand from the Log Cabin Village making paper flowers, spinning demonstration, toys, and games.

Entertainment will be provided by the Katie Keenie Band, a country-western band, from noon to 2 p.m. Lone Star Bar-B-Que will serve lunch for $5, which includes sandwich, chips, and a drink.
