MAKE THE MOST OF THIS YEAR'S ARTS & AUTOS
Denton has a lot of festivals. And while Oaktopia is about to cause all sorts of ruckus in a few weeks, we really enjoy the smaller ones. KDB's Redbud Festival and Denton Main Street's Arts and Autos events are two of our favorite Saturday mornings in Denton year in and year out. This Saturday just so happens to be one of those Saturdays. Arts and Autos (no more antiques - more on that later) is taking over the Denton square this Saturday morning from 9am until 3pm. Yes, the downtown Denton square will be cleared of cars to make room for...tons of cars! Check out some of our favorite aspects of the event in the post below so you can make the most of your time there!

There's something for everyone in here. Even you.

We hope you are spending your Labor Day working on nothing more than finishing your movie marathon, grilling a pile of meats, or getting in your last swim of the season. We're just looking forward to when it gets cold enough outside that we don't have to mow our lawn every single weekend.
What We Did is our weekly roundup of a few of our favorite photos that were tagged with #WDDI on Instagram in the past week. They give us a great snapshot of what life was like in Denton during that time.
Below are 20 photos from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX including college football, live music, donuts, and people doing whatever they can to not melt.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. Search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other photos that we were unable to include this week. Click the images below to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page where you can follow them and inevitably slide into their DM's.

THE DEN10: AUGUST 30th
Rumors of the demise of Denton's music scene are greatly exaggerated. In fact, it appears that the sudden changes in the landscape may have given it a good shot in the arm. This weekend marks the start of the highly anticipated UNT Football season, as well. All eyes will be on the new coach to see if he can pull off a few wins for the Mean Green.
Questions, comments, and footballs can be thrown at glen@wedentondoit.com
