The lights – just look at the lights!
The Fantasy Park looks like a fairyland lighted by beams of millions of tiny stars with one giant star hovering over it all. The angels are heralding the birth of the Christ Child. Look – are those the three Wise men coming afar? So many others are here also. There's Santa, Frosty the Snowman, the Sugarplum Fairy, a toy train, Christmas trees, toy soldiers, and the nativity scene. Then, out of the darkness at the end of main Street, march hundreds of children singing, bands playing, and floats covered with lights, slowly making their way down to Fantasy Park.

Archeology Awareness month in October

and immerse yourself in Texas history!

October is Texas Archeology Month.

Throughout the month, the THC and partner groups will share videos, webinars, demonstrations, discussions, downloadable activities, and more.

Texas Archeology Month (TAM) is an opportunity for Texans to understand the depth and richness of our heritage, from the former dwelling sites of prehistoric hunters and gatherers to historic shipwrecks and military sites; the significance of archeological sites; the importance of proper archeological practices; and contributions made by archeologists to our understanding of Texas' ancient and recent past.
