  • Arlington Museum of Art’s exhibit, Rock & Roll Wall of Fame, ongoing until October 18 – Art and rock n’ roll….two of my favorite things in the same room? Yes please !

This is a music-lover bucket list item.

 

  • Ecofest, September 19 – I don’t mind telling you that I am a card-carrying member of the Tree Hugger Club. Truthfully there is no official card, but you get my drift.

  • Roller Coaster Race @ Six Flags Over Texas (10K/5K), September 20 – Run or walk your way through world-famous coasters for a 10K or 5K.

Enter our original Roller Coaster Ride event that tracks your coaster rides as you try for a total distance of 5K!

 

  • Lone Star Conference, September 19 - The Lone Star Conference (LSC) - founded on April 25, 1931 – is a nine-member NCAA Division II football league that spans three states (Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico).
