The Don Harrington Discovery Center is excited to announce construction has begun on a brand-new outdoor science park. This new outdoor area will serve as an extension to the museum. Located on the southeast side of DHDC’s front entrance, the new outdoor area will feature a fossil dig pit, hands-on learning exhibits, and engineering marvels.

Preparations are being made for the big celebration and Rodeo to be held at Anvil Park Lake July 5th of this year. 

The grandstand will be more than doubled in capacity, and the slogan will be “a seat for everybody.”

Order will be placed, and delivery will be made about May 1, of a carload of the wildest steers that ever came out of the country of Old Mexico. These steers will be of all colors of the rainbow, have a wide sweep of horns, and will be the type of steers usually seen in all Rodeos.
