Event Date:
July 20, 2016 (All day)
I'm chomping at the bit for Saturday: the Taste of Downtown is almost here. It is one of my absolute favorite events, and one of the most delicious. Grab your tickets at Classy Seconds Thrift Store or the Purple Avocado. A jazz jam with Tom Stryker at Living the Good Life is a great way to soothe the soul. Test your knowledge of random facts with Geeks Who Drink Trivia at Westside Pour House. Relive the gunfight at the OK corral with a chautauqua performance at Dangberg Home Ranch Historical Park.
