Every week we present you a hand picked list of the top ten things that are going on in our humble village. This week is no different. Make sure to take pics and #WDDI so everyone who’s out of town on their respective Spring Break vacations can see what your up to.
If you have events, questions or just want to talk about zany politics shoot Glen Farris an email at glen@wedentondoit.com.
Read MoreWe sure do love Women’s History Month ‘cuz it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate some of the amazing Denton ladies in our storied past! Last year we profiled several notable Denton Damsels and City Foremothers, as well as the amazing moms who desegregated Denton schools, with the promise of even more trailblazing tales of glory from back in the day. Let's get to some of those newer tales right now...
Read MoreWhat We Did is our weekly roundup of a few of the best photos that have been tagged with #WDDI in the past week on Instagram.
We broke our self-imposed rule this week and added a few more pictures than normal. Y'all just took so many awesome photos last week, that our hands were forced. This week, we have 21 beautiful images from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX featuring the likes of Touch-a-Truck, the Color Run, TEDxTWU, and much more.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next week. In the meantime, search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other awesome photos that we were unable to include this week. We're getting close to 30,000 all-time-tags and we would like to narrow that gap very soon.

Breakfast tacos from La Estrella are just one of the 15 best dishes in Denton.
Denton's food scene has grown exponentially in the past decade. People drive from all over to come check out some of the newer (and older) restaurants that our town at the top of the triangle has to offer. We figured with all of the recent restaurant shuffling, we would highlight the fifteen dishes that we believe you should eat during your time in Denton. We've purposefully left out desserts (and drinks) because we will take a look at those in future posts, but believe us when we say we had plenty to choose from and nailing this down to fifteen was not so easy.

Democracy! Hooray! Now that the primaries are behind us (sort of) we can start talking about the upcoming City At-Large election. Well, maybe we’ll wait a little bit but not before inviting the entire city of Denton to Greg Johnson’s Campaign Launch Party at Barley & Board, March 3rd from 6-8PM. Between the joint city election and the runoff between Stucky and King, we’ll have some cool political content to keep everyone up to date on the local goings on.
Read MoreYou can’t miss Justin Weed’s long red mane, or the sound of his classical guitar drifting from Denton basements, stages, and benches across town. Weed is something of a Denton guitar prodigy at his young age. We wish we had snagged him when he was day-dreaming of delta blues at only nine years old, but we’re lucky we witnessed the paradox of his young face and old soul before he goes on to bigger and better things. He’s a cool kid with a vision for his life that may lead to the bright lights and big city in his future. Read on for our conversation with Weed about classical guitar, Booker T. Washington, and what it is like to grow up in Denton.
Read MoreWe love this city. One of our big goals here is to give back as much as we can, which means a myriad of things.

So we're going to start a quarterly round up of upcoming fundraisers, events, meet ups and ways that you can lend a hand to your community. Read on to find out how you can give back.

In the past few years, we've seen all kinds crowdfunded projects, from coffee roasters to forlorn lovers on different continents, we've seen it all. The great thing about this style of fundraising is that there is always a new project to be created and a new person (or people, or group) who are asking for your help to make their dreams a reality. We've rounded up the most promising projects in Denton right now and had a quick chat with the project creators. Take a look at their projects, count up your spare change, and see if any of the projects below are worthy of your hard earned dollars.
