The McFaddin-Ward House held its third annual SOAR Celebration, March 2, on the museum’s grounds. Activities included butterfly-themed bike rides, costumes, arts-and-crafts activities, live music performances by “Fire & Rain” and “Crossroads Band,” food trucks, a local artist Butterfly Garden display, and a demonstration from the Houston Museum of Natural Science Bug Cart. Bug Cart demonstrator Melissa Hudnall said there was a good turnout. “I love a good, busy day like this,” she said. “(The kids) start scared and then they learn a little bit, and have an appreciation for the bug, whether or not they end up touching it.” For more on events at The McFaddin-Ward House, visit mcfaddin-ward.org.
