Join us as a member of the live studio audience for an environmental forum featuring 2014 candidates for Travis County Judge and Travis County Commissioner on Friday, February 7th, 5:30pm-7:30pm. Texas Green Network is hosting the live event at the Vortex Theater, to be recorded for television and radio rebroadcast.
Protecting the environment is an important issue for Central Texas residents and necessarily on the minds of candidates running for office in Travis County, the mostly urban home of progressive Austin, TX. Early voting for Travis County Judge and Commissioner Seats starts on February 18th.
The forum will start promptly at 6:00pm with County Commissioner candidates Brigid Shea and Garry Brown 6:00pm-6:45pm and County Judge candidates Sarah Eckhardt Andy Brown from 6:45pm-7:30pm. The candidates will be asked questions on environmental and sustainability issues with questions provided by and representing a variety of local organizations.
Join us at 5:30 pm and visit The Butterfly Bar @ The VORTEX, a green, eco-friendly, local gem that is cultivating a large butterfly-oriented landscape onsite. Most weeknights you will stumble upon live music, trivia night, indie film screenings, and eclectic events. It has a vintage appeal and daily happy hours.
Patrizi's Italian food truck is open in The Yard @ The VORTEX nightly, serving fresh homemade pasta and dishes from family recipes. Grab a bottle of wine from The Butterfly Bar and dine al fresco under the stars. Serving from 5 pm till Midnight.
Seating will be limited for this forum, please reserve a seat at rsvpaustin@texasgreennetwork.org.
