What a glorious evening for a fundraiser and the Trinity River Audubon Center. If you haven’t visited this newish facility in Dallas, then you must pack a picnic and make plans to commune with nature. The TRAC is only 12 minutes south of downtown, but once you are onsite you feel like you are in a vast Texas wilderness surrounded by native trees, plants, grasses, wetlands, and, last night, cocktails.
The fundraiser, Scissor-tails and Cocktails, raised over $25,000 for the center which provides guided nature tours, wildlife photography discussions, summer camps for kids, and educational programs for schools. (They expect 450 kids to visit today.) I ran into Vera and Bob Thornton, Kim and David Hurt (Wild Birds Unlimited), Kevin and Kathy McDaniel-Flynn, Brandy and Will Taylor, former AquaKnox chef Michael Napier.
