Cooper Spring Nature Park Fish Fry Fundraiser

Cooper Spring Fish Fry Fundraiser April 25
 
The Cooper Spring Nature Park Foundation is hosting its first fundraiser for the park. A fish fry - featuring fish, French fries, hush puppies, coleslaw, dessert, and a drink - will be held on Saturday, April 25, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Nature Park, 100 North Hackberry, Lampasas. David Millican will be frying. Anna Crawford has generously donated to cover the cost of the food. Bush’s Chicken is donating tea.
 
Music will be by Kid on a Pony, under the direction of Don Douglas. Instruments include guitars, banjo, mandolin, dobro, and bass. The members all sing tight harmonies. The band plays a mix of Americana, folk, soft rock, and bluegrass music. “Mostly upbeat family-friendly stuff with an occasional heart-felt ballad,” in the words of Douglas. An anonymous donor has stepped up to pay the band’s fee. 
 
Seating at the park will be available so that ticket-holders may enjoy the music while they eat. Meals may also be taken to go. 
 
Tickets to the event are $20, with the entire ticket price going toward such projects at the park as seeding and trail development and maintenance. Tickets may be purchased from Foundation board members Rex Johnson, Dr. Neal Leavell, Harrell Clary, Marilyn Clary, Dr. Robin Gruen, Barbara Adams, Deb Mason, or Amy McDaniel.
 
Rain location: the Pavilion at Campbell Park.
