April 22

Plano's Earth Day Celebration - It's a Natural - This event is sponsored by the Plano Parks and Recreation Dept.  We had a good turnout for this event last year too.  We'll set up the field early in the morning and should be ready to run by 9am.  The event lasts until 2pm but we typically don't last that long.  Somewhat depends on the weather and the participants.  This event is held at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, 6701 W. Parker Rd., Plano, TX.  (Far West Plano, about 1 mile west of the Dallas North Tollway).  If like last year, we should have a nice big spot right next to the parking lot.  Again, for this event I will send more details later.
