The Best-Kept Outdoor Secret in Texas | Texas Country Reporter Full Episode
In this episode of Texas Country Reporter, we’re introducing you to three Texans whose work brings together creativity, community, and the great outdoors. Big Thicket Outfitters – In Vidor, Gerald Cerda has spent more than 30 years helping families explore the wild beauty of the Big Thicket. From kayak and canoe rentals to swamp tours and full-moon paddles, his full-service outfitting company makes it easy for anyone to experience one of Texas’ most unique ecosystems. With family values at the heart of everything they do, Big Thicket Outfitters helps visitors reconnect with nature and each other. The Piñata Man – After being laid off from a tech job, Alfonso Hernandez rebuilt his life through an unexpected craft: giant, hand-sculpted piñatas. From superheroes to life-size horror icons, Alfonso creates custom papier-mâché masterpieces out of his Dallas garage studio. Simple Promise Farms – In Elgin, Brandon Guinn and his team are transforming lives through agriculture. Simple Promise Farms is a mission-driven nonprofit that supports people recovering from addiction by giving them meaningful work, community, and purpose. What began as a father’s hope for his son has grown into a working farm that helps individuals rebuild their lives one harvest, one day at a time. Join us as we travel across Texas to meet the people who turn creativity, resilience, and passion into something extraordinary. #TexasCountryReporter #TexasStories #BigThicket #OutdoorTexas #KayakingTexas #SwampTours #PinataMan #DallasArtist #HandmadeTexas #PaperMacheArt #Craftsman #SimplePromiseFarms #AddictionRecovery #ElginTX #TexasNonprofits #TexasOutdoors #FamilyAdventure 00:00 Big Thicket Outfitters 07:32 Piñata Man 11:47 Simple Promise Farms Big Thicket Outfitters Gerald Cerda 115 Connolly Rd Vidor, TX 77662 Phone: (409) 786-1884 Website: https://www.bigthicketoutfitters.com/ Piñata Man Alfonso Hernandez Dallas, TX Website: https://www.instagram.com/nolimitpina...
