It’s the Month of Freedom! Today was the Juneteenth Flag Raising Ceremony, lunch plus jazz in the park.
The Juneteenth Flag uses the same colors as the United States Flag – red, white, and blue – to show that formerly enslaved people and their descendants are free Americans, too. The arc on the flag represents a new opportunity, and the burst that outlines the star signifies a new beginning for all. #juneteenth

In celebration of our children, summertime and our beautiful world - we hope to see you soon at Shangri La! 🌺

Fun Fact #1: What does Thomas Edison and barbecue have in common? Well, did you know Thomas Edison designed the very first commercial briquet factory in 1921? He did.

You might look at this here cowboy on the beach and think we staged it all. But, we hosted The Texas Outdoor Writers Association’s Annual Conference over the weekend and naturally found ourselves beachside with board member, Herman Brune, who just so happens to be a real-life Texas rancher. Why didn’t we think of this before? A cowboy on the beach, it’s just SO Texas! #loveportarthurtx #towa
