Turtle Trail Preview Night November 7th 5:30 to 7:30
Get ready to bid on some beautiful and very unique art Friday, November 7. Port A Gallery, 345 No. Alister, is hosting the Turtle Trail 2008 grand preview of over 40 magnificent terrapins in order to raise money for the Animal Rehabilitation Keep (ARK). Award winning artists have put their creative talents to work on cast aluminum models of Ridley sea turtles that will be auctioned off at a dinner and party the following evening at the Port Aransas Civic Center. The ARK , housed at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute, takes in wounded turtles and shore birds and nurses them back to health so they can return to a life in the wild. This is a great chance to acquire a unique piece of art and support a fine educational and environmental cause. Reservations for the Great Turtle Release Auction and Dinner can be made by calling 332-6361. map
