Date changed to Saturday November 6 with rain out for November 20. Rio Grande Delta Audubon will be doing the cooking and stuffing of Hot Dogs for all the volunteer planters and helpers. I will plan on being at the Mission, Texas site about 7AM to set up the cookers to have them heated and cooking by 8AM.

WhereThe Cottam Tract is south of the Town of Granjeno.  From U.S. Hwy 83, go south on FM 494/S Shary Road for nearly 4.5 miles.  At the Town of Granjeno, turn left/south across the floodway across from City Hall.  Once on the levee, follow directional signs.
