HPL ON THE SET OF "GREAT DAY HOUSTON"
HPL staff went to Great Day Houston to record a promo for the new JIB archival wing
and reading garden. You can see HPL staff members in the audience in several clips:
Of particular interest are the following segments:
"Raised Floor Living" in which Deborah Duncan is sitting amongst staff members in the
audience, and at the end of which she interviews Allen Westrick about what he thought
about the segment: http://www.khou.com/great-day/gdh_040710_seg6-

"The House That Ching Built" during which the winner of first of two sets of tickets to a
Dynamos game was announced, and it was our own Kristain Clark. The second set of
tickets was pulled off the air, and they were given to our own Somer Newland:
