Mike Vance is the program director for The Heritage Society and the co-author of Murder and Mayhem in Houston (with John Nova Lomax). They are bringing back NoTsuOh , once Houston's biggest celebration which rivalled New Orleans' Mardi Gras. This year will feature the Coronation Gala on Friday, October 26 and an animal parade on Sunday, October 28. We also talk about the museum and the historical houses the Heritage Society maintains (they have candlelit tours) and from there, I guarantee you'll learn some interesting historical tidbits about this great city. They are located downtown, you can walk the beautiful park (it's freely open) and their website has the info you need: www.heritagesociety.org
