MOVIES ON THE COURTHOUSE LAWN: POKÉMON
On Saturday, Aug 27th, Denton's cheekiest charity is hosting a movie night on the courthouse lawn. This season's selection is Pokemon: The First Movie because Glen thinks he'll get a high CP Snorlax out of it somehow. That, and we see it as a great way to utilize all of the Pokemon Go players who are already hanging at the 'gym' on the corner of Hickory and Locust for a great cause.

THE DEN10: OCTOBER 28TH 2015
Denton is always a special kind of festive during the days leading up to All Hallows Eve, and we cannot get enough of it. There are new events popping up left and right, things happening all around us and just when we thought the fun was going to fall short, Day Light Savings hits us on Sunday. Just what we needed. An extra hour of costuming, partying, and drinking on Halloween night.
With that said, here are our top ten event picks for the next seven days of your ghoulish lives. Spooky stories, comments, and mostly just future events can be directed to sara@wedentondoit.com

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.

SEEN & HEARD: OCTOBER 2015
October may be halfway gone, but we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of all the family-friendly activities coming your way. There’s loads of free movies, free candy, free flowers, and free activities for people of all ages. There’s also some super fun things that you may have to pay for, but we’re sure they’ll be worth it. Let’s face it, Denton isn’t going to shy away from fall with all her fickle beauty, creepiness, and pumpkin-spice delicacies (Have you tried The Great Pumpkin donut at Hypnotic? I have, for several days in a row).
Read MoreMOVIE NIGHT: BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II
Great Scott! It's finally October, y'all. It's sure as heck time again for another movie night on the courthouse lawn. Last time, we all hunkered down and watched Johnny Depp cut hair, trim hedges, and get a lap dance from a neighbor in the Tim Burton classic, Edward Scissorhands. This time out, we're hitching our wagon to Robert Zemeckis' Delorean with Back to the Future II. Get it down in your calendar ASAP. Wednesday, October 21st, we will be on the courthouse lawn - picnic regalia in tow - ready to get our movie on.
