Hello and welcome to The Fort Report
I'm Ehleshea Woodruff >>And I'm Chris Connolly
The City of Fort Worth is committed to fair housing opportunities
for all people.
That’s why we’re observing April as Fair Housing Month.
The Fair Housing Act was adopted 43 years ago,
and today both federal and state fair housing laws prohibit discrimination
in housing from housing providers, real estate agents, landlords, appraisers
and others.
For more information about the City’s anti-discrimination ordinance
or to report a possible violation, call 817-392-7525
or visit FortWorthGov.org/HumanRelations.
>> Spring has definitely sprung in Cowtown.
Bluebonnets are on I-30, the zoo is insanely crowded
and it's time for Prairie Fest at Tandy Hills.
>> Yes. In celebration of all things related to Laura Engalls.
[Music Playing]
>> No!
Prairie Fest is actually a family-friendly day
in the wildflower-decorated acres
of the Tandy Hills Natural Area.
It hosts a collection of eco-minded vendors
to help folks live a more earth-friendly life.
There's also live music.
Last year’s Prairie Fest was voted Best Outdoor Cultural Event of 2010.
>> Hmm. Will there be hippies?
>> The 60s are over, but there will be green-minded individuals
dedicated to preserving our planet.
>> I've noticed some hippies smell funny.
>> Chris, being eco-friendly doesn't make you less hygienic.
And by the way, you smell funny. >> See you at Burning Man, Hippies.
Let's roll one more 'Little House' clip.
>>I hope you're not angry.
[Girl screaming while dramatic music plays]
[splashing sounds]
>> What was the purpose of that?
>> It's called a 'segue.'
It has come to my attention that Councilmember Kathleen Hicks,
along with city staff and volunteers found some weird stuff in
the muddy creeks and fields of Cobb Park.
[dramatic music]
Not sure why they were rummaging around in the forest...
>> Actually, they were taking part in a recent
and very successful Cowtown Clean-up.
>> That’s good to hear, but what they found was anything but good.
[Sound of rummaging through trash]
A love letter,
a vacuum cleaner hose,
High School Musical blanket
(keeping that)
a half eaten peanut butter sandwich... what does this all mean?
>> First of all, it means some people aren’t showing respect for their city.
We’ve all seen it. Litter can be found in every part of any big city.
It needs to stop
and it starts with us
it starts with you.
Also, it means more citizens should take advantage
of the 3 drop-off stations in the city.
You can find the locations of these stations
on the city’s website or by calling 817-392-EASY.
The city also encourages continuous cleanup efforts
and will give free trash bags to groups wanting to stay involved
and keep Fort Worth beautiful.
With that, this ends this week's Fort Report
