“Full Moon Party”

“Full Moon Party”
at Estero Llano Grande State Park
set for March 30th

The next full moon will be out on Tuesday, March 30th and Estero Llano Grande
will hold another “Full Moon Party”.
The event will be held at 8PM .
On this evening, brightened by a full moon, everyone will get out on a night walk to enjoy the sounds and sights with a knowledgeable guide.
If the park’s friends cooperate, everyone should expect to hear the park’s Common Pauraques (night flying insect-eating birds), the Whistling Ducks, coyotes, frogs and insects.
“Black lights” will be carried by the guides
to show off the creatures that glow when the light is shined on them.
They will also show how to see spider’s eyes shine in the dark of the night.
The event will go on regardless of weather and, if it rains, will be held on the
park’s huge covered deck.

There is no extra charge for this program, just the regular park admission applies.
Please call us at 956-565-3919 to let us know how many in your family are coming so we can have adequate staff on hand.
A “Full Moon Party” will be held on Wednesday, April 28th.
