Wildlife will use it, too.
Guests can bring their picnics and blankets or make use of shaded picnic tables. In addition to food trucks offering food for purchase on site, H-E-B is providing 1,000 free picnics — until they’re gone. The festivities include live music, face painting and the chance to partake in The Great Prairie Adventure.
At one station, kids will spot footprints of wildlife that use the prairie as a habitat, including coyotes, armadillos, turtles, skunks and snakes. They’ll learn how each is vital to the ecosystem.
