Lake Worth Monster Bash October 1, 2011
Fort Worth, Texas 76135
Forty-two years ago, Fort Worth was abuzz with reported sightings of the Lake Worth Monster. Although the creature —described as a hairy, scaly 7-foot-tall man-goat-beast — hasn’t been seen regularly since that memorable summer of 1969, Fort Worth residents can attend Monster Bash to celebrate the local legend and the habitat he calls home.
The family event is planned for Saturday, October 1, 2011, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., at the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge, 9601 Fossil Ridge Road, Fort Worth TX 76135.
Activities will include hayrides, bison viewing, canoeing, a festival with vendors, food and games, monster-tracking hikes, guided interpretive hikes and storytelling. Music will be provided by The Skip Pullig Band, Barbara Taylor, and Joel McElhany. Author Ken Gerhard (“Monsters of Texas”) will give a free public lecture on the monsters of Texas.
Admission to Lake Worth Monster Bash is $5 for adults; $3 for seniors; $2 for ages 3-12; free for children under 3 and for Friends of the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. $1 discount per person (with Military ID). Most activities will be free, but some will require a fee.
