Outdoor Fools Day will be at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center on Saturday, April 4th. Experts in camping, fishing, archery, campfire cooking and more will teach hand-on-skills in a day of family-oriented outdoor fun.

The Master Gardeners Spring Conference will be at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center on Thursday, April 16. Elvin McDonald, former editor of Better Homes & Gardens will be the guest speaker.
