And while we are expecting to see more rain, these local events may act as a beacon of light on a rather dreary weekend. What will y'all be doing this weekend? Let us know by using #SouthlakeStyle in all of your posts.
Southlake Carroll's Dragons vs. Keller's Indians
The Dragons have been taking home win after win throughout non-district play. And now, they are heading into their first district game of the season against the Keller Indians. Make sure the Dragons have a big crowd in the visitor section by heading over to Keller ISD Stadium on Friday for the 7:00 p.m. game. While this weekend looks like another wet one, we're sure the varsity team would love to see some familiar faces in the stands. Go Dragons!
Since 1886, Texans have come together to celebrate our great state at the State Fair, and starting Friday, September 28, it's back and bigger than ever. Fairgoers love the variety of attractions, fried foods, activities and events, like shopping for local goods sold in the marketplace, seeing the unique creations showcased in the Creative Arts Building, meeting and petting animals in the barns, winning a stuffed animal at the Midway, watching the gravity-defying acrobats and exploring the car show among others. With the more than 100 free draws, 70 Midway rides and more activities throughout, the whole family will have a great time at the State Fair!
Let your kids hone in their skills or try out a new sport by stopping by The Birch Racquet & Lawn Club's Free Kids Tennis Event this Saturday. Kids ages 10 and under can come out from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to play tennis games, enter into giveaways and experience the Dent Tennis Academy's 10 and Under Program. Your little ones will be learning from the pros while also getting active, so it's a win-win for everyone.
Pumpkins, Gourds and Squash, Oh my! Jump into fall by stopping by Southlake's Calloway's Nursery on Saturday for their Pumpkin Fest. The full-filled day will include plenty of free family-friendly activities like pie pumpkin decorating, pumpkin patch photos and much more. It's also the best time to pick up your kids' pumpkins and pick up a few new ideas on how you can decorate your home for the season.
For an evening full of color, engaging artists and professional street paintings, head over to Fort Worth's Chalk Art Festival on Saturday from 12 to 4 p.m. The fun-packed festivities will introduce locals to up-and-coming artists as they create unique designs on the streets of Crockett Row. Kids will love the children's chalk art area, interactive photo booth, music, games and PoserKids Yoga classes spread throughout the day. It's a great way to visit a new part of town and spend some quality time creating something new with your kids.
