The Washington on the Brazos State Park Association will celebrate 183 years of Texas—where the stars are big and bright—at its annual Sundown Social. All proceeds from this Texas-size party will benefit the Washington on the Brazos State Park Association and its educational programming and enhancement of the 293-acre park encompassing Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site. It is important for people to know that every dollar raised at the Sundown Social directly benefits Washington on the Brazos and that the money stays here: ‘Where Texas Became Texas.’” Washington on the Brazos is where 59 delegates bravely met in 1836 to formally declare independence from Mexico.
