Freeport, TX - March 29, 2006

Dow Neighbor Day will kickoff with a full slate of fun-filled events then close with a bang on Saturday, May 6 at Brazosport College. The 65th Anniversary Celebration will start a 1 p.m. and end around 8:30 p.m. after a fireworks spectacular set to music.

"We've already lined up many exciting activities for Dow Neighbor Day, with more being added each day," said Bob Walker, Vice President of Dow Texas Operations. "It's going to be a great day for Dow to thank the community for the support they have given us for more than six decades."

Free Rides
When it comes to fun for all ages - Dow Neighbor Day has it covered. On the midway, attendees will be able to compete in LaserMaze, ride a mechanical bull, make it to the top of the rock climbing wall, and so much more. There will also be a Ferris wheel, Merry-Go-Round and other rides for younger kids. And all the rides are free!

Fireworks
Shortly after dusk, a fireworks spectacular set to music will begin. It will be like July 4 on May 6 - only bigger.

That's Entertainment
Ezra Charles and The Works with their appealing horn-drenched rhythm & blues, boogie-woogie, Texas rock & roll sound will be the featured performers before the fireworks spectacular at a concert on the lawn by Brazosport College's tennis courts.

Throughout Dow Neighbor Day, a variety of local bands and choirs will entertain. They'll be joined by dance teams, face painters and many others.

Attendees will also be able to show off their pipes at the karaoke stage. We'll even let you sing if you can't carry a tune. Relax, Simon Cowell is not scheduled to attend.

Virtual Tours
What does Dow Texas Operations look like on the inside? Well, we can't have the entire community visit the site, so we're going to bring the site to Dow Neighbor Day through a video presentation. It's a great way to see the plants, the products and the people of Dow Texas Operations.
