Summer time
is finally upon us. The kids are out of school, the wildflowers are in bloom,
and the prairies and plains region of Central Texas is just beckoning you to
come visit and explore all of the many adventures you cannot miss this summer.
No matter how disparate your family’s interests, there is such a variety of
things to do in Central Texas, everyone in the family will go home happy. Here
are the events:
National
Fishing Day
While
Athens is a town you may have never heard of, their recreational facilities and
green zones are impeccable. This is lead by the Texas Freshwater Fisheries
Center in Athens, which includes a freshwater aquarium (be sure to go see the
alligators!) and several freshwater fishing ponds. On June 7th, the
whole family can enjoy free fishing along with complimentary hot dogs and
refreshments. There is also a fishing tournament for children twelve or
younger. For a great father/kid get away, this is a great opportunity to build
memories.
CAF Air
Show
The
Commemorative Air Force (CAF)
hosts an annual air show, held on the grounds of the Corsicana Municipal
Airport the second Saturday in May. The show includes a variety of aerobatic
and pyrotechnic demonstrations, and the show’s highlight includes the Corsicana
Coyote Squadron’s aerobatic demonstration. Your family will be amazed at the
completely-restored World War II airplanes, including a fully-restored PT-19,
as they soar through the air, performing death-defying stunts.
Art
If your
interests are more refined, the art and history museums are one of the most
renowned things to do in Central Texas. The Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth has
a small but impressive collection of modern pieces. Beyond the art, the
building itself is a piece of art. The Japanese architect who designed the
structure was inspired by swans gliding on water. Right across the street is
the Kimball Art Museum, another impeccably-designed building, which has a
special exhibit this summer on Samurai Armor. These museums make for a great
Central Texas road trip.
Be sure to
put all of these can’t miss events of the summer on your calendar for a summer
full of excitement and adventure. For more information and summer events clickhere!
