Earth Day 2023 at Fair Park
Over the years, I have considered Fair Park to be one of the jewels in the Dallas Crown. The other, that could be considered an equal, would be White Rock Lake. The rest of the jewels are openly changing from year-to-year and the next one will surface when things settle out from the health, financial and when other factors begin to jell as normal once again. But, during the past period of uncertainty, White Rock and Fair Park were without question, the stand outs.
Today, with the threat of most of the coming week will most likely sock me indoors, I had to get out of the house. Then, it hit me. It's Earth Day and Fair Park was the destination.
One of the Falcons that is called into service when the Grackle numbers are a problem for aircraftThe second star of the show is this Fernhay e-quad that UPS uses in high density environments. They can be customized to your needs too.
The third in my selection of unique "save the Earth" items at Earth Day this year was this sweeper for trash in a lake, pond etc.
There were so many others that were stand outs, too. A very interesting item was from Smart Sort Technologies, Inc. of Plano. The point of interest for me was their tag line: "Adding Intelligence to Sustainability." You can check them out at SmartSortAI.com
And, of course, The largest collections of Art Deco assembled in one place is a treasure for those of us that live in Dallas and can experience it the year round. I happen to enjoy Hall of State from the splendor of architecture and the fantastic fountain that begins with this view to the far end.
