FORT WORTH'S TANDY HILLS PARK PRAIRIE FEST

On April 26, 2008 the 3rd Annual Prairie Fest took place at Fort Worth's Tandy Hills Park. Prairie Fest celebrates the natural world and everything Green, including the spring green of the Tandy Hills being very colorful with wildflowers in full bloom. Prairie Fest had a celebratory feeling to it, a very upbeat enjoyable atmosphere. With good music, some of which you can hear below via YouTube videos.
