Eat Your vegetables!
“There’s only two things that money can’t buy, and that’s true love and
homegrown tomatoes,” goes the Guy Clark song, but you can prove it
wrong at the Denton County Farmer’s Market. Pick up some juicy red
tomatoey goodness along with peppers, onions, watermelons, and anything
else Denton County farmers have to offer Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Saturdays June through September. Find the market in the Bayless-Selby
House Museum parking lot at the corner of Mulberry Street and Carroll
Boulevard. Open from 7 a.m. until noon or sellout.
Acoustic Lawn JamFor
a relaxed (and free!) way to enjoy Denton’s live music scene, head to
the Courthouse- on-the-Square Saturday mornings for the Acoustic Lawn
Jam. A favorite since 1994, the jam brings together musicians of all
ages, interests, and abilities. Playing everything from guitar to
spoons and fiddle to Autoharp, musicians work their way through
bluegrass, old country, and rock-and-roll tunes along with the
occasional hymn. Bring a blanket and plan to sing along. Saturdays from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
whole lotta Shakin’ downtownElvis may have
left the building, but he’s remembered during the celebration of
National Elvis Week. The Elvis is Rockin’ Downtown Denton Scavenger
Hunt runs August 9–14. Pick up a ballot at participating stores, then
prowl through downtown shops and restaurants to find Elvis memorabilia.
Turn in a completed ballot to be eligible for fun prizes; previous
years’ winners have headed to Graceland for week-end getaways or taken
home life-size talking Elvis cutouts.
