Things To Do
Fort Worth Area: Fort Worth Stockyards
The Fort Worth Stockyards in Texas preserves the rich Western heritage of the whole region. Established in the 19th century as a hub for cattle drives, it now stands as a historic district where you can experience cowboy culture, watch cattle drives, visit rodeos, hear live music, and explore Western-themed shops and restaurants ** There is a large group of us going Friday afternoon and anyone is welcome to join us! See the "Schedule" tab for more details. If you are unable to go Friday, we definitely recommend checking it out Saturday or Monday!
Denton Area: Downtown Denton Square
Explore the Downtown Denton Square with rooftop bars and restaurants. We personally recommend trying: LSA Burger Co., Beth Marie's Old Fashioned Ice Cream, The West Oak Coffee Bar, and Barley & Board.
Denton Area: Lake Ray Roberts
This is a peaceful, rural lake that is super close to our venue! If you are interested in a boat or jet ski rental, check out the: Lone Star Lodge & Marina!
Denton Area: Marty B's
One of the BEST Texas BBQ joints *literally* a 5 minute walk from Chad's house. This restaurant is very well know in the DFW area that celebrities will often fly in just to eat here. There is always live music on the weekends! Highly recommended for anyone on the hunt for some good Texas BBQ! The owner also has a super cute Western themed coffee shop and ice cream shop right next door! (Marty B's Coffee and Marty B's Ice Cream)
