[TXBubba]

The Heart of Texas Chapter (HOT) of Free Republic would like to invite any interested Freepers and their families to join us on Saturday, November 23rd for a day at the George H.W. Bush Library and Museum in College Station, Texas. We will meet at noon inside the entrance to the museum. Afterwards we plan to go to a local restaurant for some good food and conversation.

Details about the Bush Library can be found at http://bushlibrary.tamu.edu.

We have secured a group discount rate of $3.50 for adults and students. Children age 16 and under are FREE. Parking is also FREE.

Currently there are several exhibits showing. The exhibits only run through January 5th so if you are interested, now is the time to make the trip.

Freedom's Journey

Two centuries later, the powerful proclamations of the freedom-loving people now called "Founding Fathers" still ring true. A rare broadside copy of the Declaration of Independence will visit the Museum. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to see one of only 25 remaining copies of this historic document. Freedom's Journey tells the story of our nation's beginnings through original documents, photographs and artifacts. They are direct links to a time when brave individuals risked everything for their belief in liberty. .

Remembering September 11:

As people struggled with the terrible events of September 11, artists from all over the United States began to pour their feelings into their work. Whether it was paint or sculpture, needlework or decoupage, the emotions of a nation are reflected and captured in these wonderful expressions that honor the victims of September 11.

Art and Essay Contest

See the wonderful entries in our annual art contest inspired by last year's popular exhibit, Stripes and Stars. Also on display will be the winning essays from our contest based on "American Democratic Ideas and Practices".

The Fires of Kuwait

This photographic exhibit documents the international coalition of oil well fire fighters who extinguished the oil fires lit by fleeing Iraqi troops at the conclusion of Desert Storm.

Tours are self-guided and cameras and videocameras are fine with the exception of no flash photography in the museum itself. In other words, we can take pictures in the rotunda and elsewhere.

If you have any further questions or just want us to keep an eye out for you please contact Gracy at gracy@austin.rr.com.

Hope you can join us for a Post-Election-Victory Freeper Fieldtrip!

This would be great. My daughter wants to visit the A&M campus. We could do that then I could force feed her some nice conservative history. Valerie, do you think you'll really go?

[TXBubba]

Hope you will be able to make it!

Flyer, you should ping this to that list of black hearted dim haters that you have.

[ValerieUSA]

I'm going to try - it's such a busy time of year that I don't dare commit yet though.

[basil]

I plan to be there--don't know about Mr. basil, yet.

[McLynnan]

Same here about the timing, but I'm marking it on my calendar. The exhibits look wonderful. If we both go would you be interested in following each other while we travel?

[TXBubba]

Maybe we should have a convoy! We could decorate cars and everything. Okay, it's just been an exciting week!

[Dusty Rose]

We'll be expecting a Freeper Fieldtrip report -- with pictures! Wishing I could join you...
