One of your extra-credit opportunities is to visit one of the San Antonio Missions (a visit to the Alamo doesn’t count). Take a picture of yourself next to a sign indicating which Mission you visited, show it to me, and you get an extra ten points towards your final grade for the semester.
I recently learned of one more reason to visit the beautiful Mission Concepcion. For just one night, on Friday, Oct. 16, 2015, at 8 p.m., an artist will project light onto the building, virtually “restoring” the Mission to its former glory.
That will be the highlight of a three-hour festival of food trucks, picnics, historical tours, music, and family-friendly activities spread throughout the mission grounds. Festivities begin at 6 p.m.
Learn more about the event on its Facebook page.
