Join us for a fun-filled outing day provided in conjunction with the Harris County Precinct 3 Day Bus Trip Program.
For this month's fun adventure, we will head to the Brookwood Community, the 485-acre residential and vocational community village where adults with disabilities are celebrated, admired, and respected for their amazing gifts and steadfast joy in all circumstances. More than 200 Citizens work in one or more of Brookwood’s enterprises and over 100 Residential Citizens live at the Main Campus. We will tour Brookwood’s chapel, Stephen C. Beasley Center for Learning, and Horticulture enterprise and greenhouses, then have lunch at the Brookwood Cafe. Afterwards we will have time to shop at the Gift and Garden Center, perhaps have a surprise stop on the way home, and will be returning to the library around 5:00 pm.
Our next stop will be Hemi Hideout, a direct reflection of a lifelong dream fulfilled by owner John Hovas. It all started at age 16, with his love for the Dodge and Plymouth muscle cars of the 1960's and early 70's. Today, the venue is filled with 24 of the most desirable Mopars cars on earth, which are icons from an era of rock 'n' roll, and over 600 vintage porcelain and neon signs, all from days gone by, that date back as far as the early 1900's. Also featured in the venue, are many various pieces of memorabilia, antique tractors and motorcycles, all restored to their original factory glory. It is an amazing place to visit. The tour fee is $10 CASH ONLY, which is matched by the owner and donated to charity.
