The eco-bus created by Brownsville's Rio Bravo Wildlife Institute that runs on discarded vegetable oil is heading to the Texas Food Revolution after finishing a six-city, statewide tour.
    The Institute will display the bus from10am-1pm at the Texas Food Revolution this Saturday August 6th at Alhambra Restaurant on 17th street in McAllen.
   After a long haul on the road, eco-bus captain and RBWI outreach coordinator Joe Boswell said the trip is a welcome one.
   "It's been a long three-months out on the road," Boswell said in an interview with Fresh Tex-Mex.
   "The trip to McAllen to visit the Texas Food Revolution has been a long time coming," Boswell said, "and I'll definitely enjoy it".
