Fall has fallen, sorta, like it both does and doesn’t in Texas. Heat, humidity, rain showers, and my garden so dang confused it doesn’t know whether to bloom or swim. Luckily, Fall also means a full dance-card with local shenanigans. This week in #DENTONING adventures has scads of fun stuff, but here is what's happening in our top #DEN10 weekly events!

MAKE AN IMPACT WITH NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY
Today across North Texas, charitable organizations are maximizing donations for North Texas Giving Day.

All of them will be accepting online donations, so even if you can't make it to the square, you can still donate. Read on to find out a few of our favorite organizations in Denton, and how you can help give back.

Well that was a weekend for the books. Oaktopia 2016 took over downtown Denton for the fourth year in a row and had plenty of great moments. In fact, there were so many of those moments, that we'll have a whole post full of 'em later on today. In the meantime, we've got plenty of great non-music festival images from last week in our weekly photo round up post, What We Did.
Every Monday, we take a look through all of the images that have been tagged #WDDI (We Denton Do It) on Instagram and post a few that showcase what life was like in Denton that week.
If you'd like to have your image selected for What We Did, make sure to tag your Instagram photos with #WDDI. Glen has been telling people that if they give him a dollar he can make it happen, but that's just a lie.

We remember the days when this column used to be filled with photos of tacos and lattes. While we're happy that our photographic lineup has grown up, we can't say that we aren't sad at the lack of taco goodness in the #WDDI feed lately. What happened Denton? Have you fallen out of taco love? Are tacos no longer "cool?" Do the most recent VSCO filters not look that great when hoisted upon a fresh-made corn tortilla? Whatever the case, we better move on. We're getting too hungry.
What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got 21 of our favorite images from the past week in Denton, TX below. And what a week it was. We saw Harvest House get to capacity for that famous-fella-who-wears-that-cool-hat's magazine party. The city started prepping hard for Oaktopia round 3. Oh, and North Texas Giving Day was another resounding success. Check out photos from these events and more in the posts below.
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 we were unable to include this week. Click the images below to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page. Have a great week!

Read MoreTHE DEN10: SEPTEMBER 16th
No one told us the GOP debate was going to last 3 hours so this is coming in a little late and with a little commentary. The good news is we live in Denton, a city where it’s very easy to find a cause or initiative to get behind and effect real change in our community. Today is North Texas Giving Day and some of us will be out on the square raising money for at-risk children, the homeless, the hungry, and many other sources of need that are right in our community. Imagine if the same amount of energy spent in the next few hours in Denton on social media things such as the debate went into trying to solve the issue of students showing up to Denton ISD schools hungry because they aren’t fed at home.
