Children’s Activities | Denton Community Market | Free | 9-1

Denton Air Show | Denton Municipal Airport | Free-$12 | 11-4
The Denton Air Show is one of the most exciting events in town. Load up on thrills and snow cones. Take a tour of Hangar 10. Bring your own chair and shade if you’ve got it.

Anyah Martinez is the mother of three busy boys and the founder of Explorium Denton, an emerging children's museum taking shape in Denton.
SCRAP Denton is full of reuse pushers. After you've hung out in their new digs on Bell for a while, made a few crafty friends, and taken a couple of classes you kinda get hooked on creative reuse. It can be addictive. With their new location, SCRAP is bigger and better than ever before, and with their upcoming fundraisers, summer camps and more, things only look to be getting better. We recently spoke with lead SCRAPer (our term, not hers), Heather Gregory, to get the low-down on all of the upcoming events happening at SCRAP. Oh, and she gives us insight on who is the craftiest person in Denton, teases an upcoming Mini Maker Faire to be held in Denton this fall, and a whole bunch more because she's busy like that. Read all about it in the interview below.
