Clark Gardens will be open this weekend with business as usual. The trains will be operating both Saturday and Sunday. Bring your family and have a picnic. The yard staff have been working all week to get everything watered and ready for your enjoyment.
On the evening of July 4th there is a fireworks display in Mineral Wells (follow link for details) at the High School stadium. Also Lake Mineral Wells State Park offers Cowboy, Campfire, Music and Poetry led by Park Interpreter David Owens. David performed at the Gardens Holiday Festival and he was terrific. (hmmm....I'm wondering if you could get a view of the fireworks from there...just a thought).
To step back in time visit the Old Jail Museum in Palo Pinto. Hungry for an old fashioned fish fry? The Mineral Wells VFW Hall offers one and it's even FREE!!!
There's lots to do this weekend to celebrate the 4th. So ... >>full...
Jane Baldwin, co owner of Double J Art Ranch with husband Jimmy Baldwin, is offering a special yoga class next Tuesday night at the Double J. Many of you will know Jimmy from his performances at the June Festival. Amazing!!!
Jane and I have talked about offering yoga in the gardens. This will be my first yoga class (ever) so I am excited and a bit anxious not knowing what to expect. But I do know Jane so I know it will be great. Join me Tuesday night and let's make a Clark Garden showing out at Double J.

The June Festival has come and gone and yes summer has
arrived. I have many people to thank for all their help at the June
Festival with the first being the Clark Garden Staff Members. Lee Ann,
John, Carey, Wendy, Cathy, Rick, Lucio, Luis, Estelle, Juan....each of you are
incredibly committed and hard working. Thank you!!!
And what can I say about David Adams--we simply would not have had the caliber
of artists had it not been for David. He's a true friend of the
gardens.
