The Second Chance SPCA will be on hand 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with live animal adoptions!
Other activities will include an inflatable slide and kite flying. The Dallas Area Kite-Flyers Association will demonstrate their kite-flying skills from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Guests are encouraged to bring their own kites to also fly in the Heard Meadow. Or, The Heard will have some kites for sale, including a kid’s kite that gives them the opportunity to color and design their own kite.

Enjoy live entertainment, green demonstrations and kid's activities including kite flying in the meadow. See the new Bugs! exhibit, check out Animals of the World and walk the nature trails. Bring recyclable products to support the Heard’s electronics recycling program. Stay tuned for more details.
