Enthusiasm ran high under warm overcast skies with dozens of Friends of Inks Lake (FOIL) State Park and Texas Master Naturalists, Highland Lakes (HLMN) at the semi-sesquicentennial (75th anniversary) volunteering Saturday for the Inks Lake State Park celebration on Oct. 18.
“Your fellow HLMN members turned out strong support as hundreds of visitors enjoyed an impressive slate of public engagement offerings ranging from live fishing and backyard bass to archery, bee keeping, environmental conservation, and ladybug stations,” said HLMN’s Reed Armstrong. “Adding to the excitement were Texas Game Wardens, historical re-enactors from the Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm at LBJ State Park, a select set of Inks Lake State Park historical items from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department collections, as well as the bloodmobile.
“This year’s park anniversary celebration is built on the timely theme of Origin, Status and Destination.”
