Author and farmer friend Forrest Pritchard will be here to talk about his new book Growing Tomorrow that features small producers from around the country, including our own Texas Honeybee Guild!
We will have some beer and other beverages, but feel free to BYOB your favorites! There will also be some small bites provided, hence the $10 charge.
We will also have copies of both books for sale.

Join us this holiday season to celebrate the Prairie Community that we've created. We will have some great activities to facilitate conversations and learning. Bring a food item with you and we'll have a feast.
Melanie O'Neill Master Composter teaches a class on the benefits and basics of composting. Various methods and types of bins will be discussed, including her personal favorite, C.E. Shepherd Bin. Free. Light breakfast and coffee served at 10 am. RSVP: 214 202-2163 or info@trinityhaymarket.com.
Since the recent rains have softened up the ground, we’ll be pulling pesky privet stumps, grooming our butterfly garden, Thunder Turf, wildflower bed and picking up litter.
Please bring your favorite gardening tools, work gloves or litter picker upper.
Wear appropriate clothing for the weather and for working in a natural area (long pants, long sleeves, sturdy shoes, hat).
Water and snacks will be provided.
O.S. Gray Natural Area has no restroom facilities, but Kroger is nearby.
Our guests are from the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes. President Terri Parton will be speaking, along with Cultural Program Planner and past president Gary Mc Adams. We first met the Wichitas and Affiliates last year in Waco, when we declared the Waco Indian Village Live Oak Grove as historic.
