Brugger Attends 4-H Event Brylee Brugger along with other 4-H Junior Master Photographers and Ambassadors attended a field trip on Saturday, Sept. 12 in Austin, Texas. This photography learning opportunity included stops at Zilker Botanical Gardens, The Cathedral of Junk, the Capital and Visitor Center and ended with a boat road on Lady Bird Lake to watch the bats fly from the Congress Bridge. Brylee and her family, along with another family, ate lunch at Guero’s Taco Bar on S. Congress Avenue. Part of the 4-H group captured photos of the Frost Building and different murals around town. With a football game in Austin, traffic and wait times were longer, but the group managed to make all the sites and learn more about photography.
