Tyler State Park Needs Help Naming Its Giant Duck

Kids are out for the school year and temperatures are getting hot outside. It’s quickly becoming summertime in East Texas and it’s an exciting time of the year.

Sure, we will all be hugging our air conditioners very soon. But we’re also used to the weather, and at least we know what to expect here in East Texas. Just because it gets hot outside doesn’t mean we’re staying indoors all the time. We still love to get outside and have some fun.

One of the most fun things you can do around East Texas has to be a visit to the Tyler State Park. There truly is so much to do, whether you want to go fishing, take a hike along the trails, or maybe just a picnic in the park.

But the problem is that the duck doesn’t have a name just yet. And the Tyler State Park is looking for your input. They have narrowed it down to four choices which are: Jellybean, Sunflower, Buttercup, or Lucy. My vote is for Sunflower.

There is no word on when the voting will close so get your vote in now.
