Ever wondered what it would be like not to be able to see?

The Blind Courage Support Group is offering a chance to do just that with "Eye Spy" from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Oct. 15 at Victoria Mall.

The event features a Blind Courage Detective Kit that allows participants to experience how the blind use their other senses on a daily basis.

The event is free and open to the public. The first 100 children will receive a prize after completing a Braille Cell which consists of six games.

The Blind Courage Support Group meets from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on the second and fourth Wednesday each month in the Victoria Mall community room.

Care providers and family members are also welcome to attend.

For more information call 361-573-2424.
