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.

On Saturday morning Hickory St. will see on the upwards of 60 different casket-clad racing machines hoping to take the title in one of two categories: speed and fan favorite. In honor of the 4th annual Coffin Races, we chatted with local coffin racing legend John Green about this year’s upcoming event.
Read MoreCan you believe that next week is Halloween? That means we are rounding out October and heading full force in to what we hope will be an actual fall season. Temperatures seem to have broken (finally) and it is Denton’s Day of the Dead Festival weekend - what more could you possibly want?
Although there are tons of events happening in Denton this week (and every week), we chose what we think are the 10 best events that give you a full taste of what Denton has to offer. If you have an event that you think might add some robust flavor in the future, please direct that to sara@wedentondoit.com.
Read MoreThe last picture in today's What We Did is a fun little lego set on top of a box of Hypnotic Donuts. That got us kinda wanting to see some more Denton scenes in Lego form. We'd love to see your Denton-themed Lego creations. So if you get some free time this week (do people still get that?), borrow your child's blocks (or steal some from a friend's child - not really, though) and bet to building. Share 'em with us on Instagram so we can see your creations!

Read MoreOctober 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 MoreHoly Craptober, you guys. There is so much going on in Denton this week. But really, are you surprised? Are you? No… You want things to do, and darnit, you want them now! Between keynote speakers, five million great shows, a couple of benefit concerts, and a Maker Faire -- we’ve got you covered. After all, this is the Den10 - the 10 best events in Denton this week. We're just doin’ our job here, keeping you informed and all that fun stuff.
You have an event? Say it to my face! Actually, emailing is 100x better. Questions, comments, and mostly just events can be directed to sara@wedentondoit.com
Read MoreGreat 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.
Read MoreDenton has a lot of things to be proud of, but college football isn't always one of them. That parade was fun, though, right? Oh well. We still had a good weekend and it looks as if y'all did, too judging by your images.
