Last Friday evening, we held a pool party / cannonball contest at Denton's Civic Center Pool to raise funds for the Denton Parks Foundation. This weekend was not only the last weekend of the season for the pool to be open, but also the very last weekend of all time for the diving board. The pool will be renovated this year and the new plans do not accommodate a diving board. To give it a proper sendoff, we planned a cannonball contest. The event saw folks of all ages swing by to see how big of a splash they could make (both literally and figuratively) and it quickly devolved from cannonballs to jack knifes and belly flops. By the end of the night we were able to raise almost $600 for the Denton Parks Foundation. The money will go towards the Eureka 2 project which you can read more about here. Below are a few pics from the festivities on Friday evening.

It's hot, y'all. We kinda cheated with cooler temps and overcast days in July, and now it seems that August is going to be our payback. The summer days are fleeting - and school is getting frighteningly close - so beat the heat and do something fun this weekend. We know you had grand plans of laying by the pool, reading a stack of books and eating your weight in snow cones. So this weekend, do it before time runs out. We'll even help you out! For those of us who are pool-less, ourselves, our super fun friend Addison Day shows us how to break into the newest, most exclusive pool party around.
Addison Day is a video contributor to WDDI and a talented filmmaker living in Denton. Almost all of his work features beer, and he generally won't show up anywhere unless there's a keg. You could ask him about the rare, unreleased Armadillo Ale Works brewing footage he's always threatening to post, but after a few beers he'll probably tell you about it regardless.
