Its been a lazy summer in Denton and it hasn't been any different at We Denton Do It. Glen had to take a Rip Van Winkle-esque nap from Tuesday to Friday after the craziness that was last Monday so the Den10 took a break. Looks like y'all still found plenty of stuff to do, though!

Read MoreDenton is about to hit those dreaded triple digits after a heckuva wet Spring, so how now to spend our precious sweaty weekends left of summer?

They feature plenty of live music, food, and more Jason Lee (because he apparently still loves us). Wonder if he's a fan of red spray paint...

Read MoreDowntown Denton awoke to find the familiar and arguably infamous Confederate soldier monument vandalized this morning. The statue in question sits on an arch with non-working segregated water fountains at the base. As of early this morning, it has the words, "THIS IS RACIST" written in red spray painted capital letters across the top of the arch. The statue has been the subject of much debate recently, with many calling to have it torn down or at the very least relocated to a less prominent location. Many others, thought the statue should stay (you can read comments on our Facebook page). A group who call themselves Dentonites Against Racist Traditions, had a few meetings to discuss how to get the statue, which is a Texas Historical Marker, removed. The group, which sought to work to remove the statue within the confines of the law, recently took a break from their meetings to look into removing the historical marker.
Read MoreHarvest House has been open for about four months now and in that span of time it has quickly become one of Denton's most popular bars. But there's a strange Jekyll and Hyde phenomenon happening at this popular bar and venue that speaks to why the place opens at 10am on weekdays. We spoke with Harvest House's Cafe Manager and juicer of many things, Andie Sterling, about the other half of Harvest House that exists Monday through Friday from 10am - 5pm and why it should possibly be your new daytime hangout.

Read MoreSummer is almost over and if you’ve not got your plans together to blow it, don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of things you can get into. This week, possibly the most intriguing event is the Goliad kickoff party at Dan’s. It’s a “media production house” according to the site (which really is beautiful and I recommend checking it out). It seems to be reminiscent and connected to the Porch scene so we’re hoping for good things. Remember y’all, life is short, hashtag WDDI.

Read MoreThis year, we once again had the chance to produce the video for United Way's 2015 Campaign. Below you can find that video featuring scenes from all over Denton County.
United Way Denton County is a locally governed organization that has been helping our community since 1951. Their mission is to improve lives in Denton County and they do a darned good job of it. We've featured a couple of the ways they do this in the video below. This year's campaign is focused on mental health, an issue that has touched the lives of many and one that most everyone can get behind.
We were honored to partner in creating this year's video because we want to continue to see our community thrive by highlighting the work being done and at the same time expressing how much more remains to be accomplished. You, too, can give, advocate and volunteer to help make the Denton community a better place at unitedwaydenton.org.
