DENISON, Tex. -- Eisenhower State Park is celebrating its fiftieth birthday in Denison on Saturday, but campers began rolling in Friday.

Representative Larry Phillips will be on hand, and there will be plenty of family events. Park superintendent Paul Kiesel says the facility draws large crowds every year.

"Eisenhower State Park is a wonderful place to bring a family, look around and you see the family, you see the kids around and it's a wonderful place to come and enjoy Lake Texoma. It doesn’t matter if you have kayak or a 60-foot boat or if you have pup tent or a big RV, we've got something for you to do. "

The celebration starts tomorrow at 10 a.m. and lasts all day long.
