SCRAP has been Denton's home for creative reuse for several years now. Heck, their "new" location off of Bell Avenue is already a couple of years old. Where else in town can you fill up bags of "yarn barf" for 25¢ per bag, buy used trophies such as "3rd place at Local Comedy Contest," enroll your child in educational classes that promote creative reuse, or find useful things such as art materials on the cheap? SCRAP does a lot of stuff, y'all. Aside from just being an awesome store and educational center, SCRAP also puts on one of our favorite events every year: the SCRAP Masquerade Ball. This year's ball is happening Saturday, October 14th from 7 - 10pm at the Denton Woman's Club. Read on to learn more about this exciting event and find out how you can get your tickets for the event

INTERVIEW WITH HEATHER GREGORY
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.

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.

Denton cares, y’all. In under ten days, members of our local music scene banded together for the sake of their fellow man, or in this case, fellow woman. A woman that illuminates every room she enters. They came together for Kyndall Ramsey, former Dentonite and forever honorary “Music Mama.”
