14th Annual City of houston water festival

You are invited to the May 10th Water Festival. Twelve hundred students from 13 schools and 46 exhibitors attended the 2006 Water Festival. We are planning for even greater student attendance and exhibitor participation this year. Thanks to the generosity of the Management of the downtown Aquarium, the price of the Aquarium's One-Day Adventure Pass remains at the 2006 price of $5 (a $10 discount) so students, educators and volunteers may explore the Aquarium's interior exhibitors and enjoy all of the outdoor rides. The One-Day adventure pass is valid until 10:00 p.m. that evening. The Water Festival's primary focus is educating 3rd through 8th grade students about water related environmental issues. We are encouraging interactive education activities at the festival that will inspire students to become life-long water stewards. Call 713-837-0509 or email Brenda.templeton@cityofhouston.net for more information.
