Sometimes you need a week like the one we just had to help you remember why you love Denton. Watching a large crowd of people standing in the rain to cheer on homemade coffins rolling down Hickory St. is a great Denton pick-me-up. In fact, all of last week was pretty darned awesome. Keep Denton Beautiful gave away a bunch of trees again, we all got together and watched Back to the Future on the courthouse lawn, and then there was Day of the Dead complete with Cirque Du Horror and coffin racing.
What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got 17 of our favorite images from the past week in Denton, TX below. The images feature pics from all of the aforementioned events and then some. In fact, y'all took so many great photos from the Day of the Dead festival, that we're splitting today's What We Did into two separate posts. So keep up with the blog today and there will be another photo post later this afternoon.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. As always, we're limited in the photos we can post, but we encourage you to search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other awesome photos that get tagged.
