Events
Oak Cliff Earth Day
Lake Cliff Park will host the ever growing 5th annual Oak Cliff Earth Day.
In a paradoxical twist of irony, Walmart is one of their sponsors. Well, as somebody once said, “It’s good to keep your friends close and your enemies even closer!”.
Buy plants, art from local artists, learn about bees, butterflies, organic gardening, hybrid vehicles and you can even donate blood or adopt a pet. There will be entertainment all day. Bring a little pocket change, food and drinks will be available for purchase.
Art in the Hood
The 9th Annual Art in the Hood Tour has been rescheduled for March 20th. It is tour-free this year but still in the hood of far east Dallas and features 30+ Artists, Live Music, & Demonstrations, with face painting and Henna for the kids.
Along with the original artists who comprised the tour – Brad & Laura Abrams, Roy Cirigliana, Mark Epstein and Nancy Thompson, there will be 30+ local artists from an array of diverse disciplines displaying their art. Glass-blowing demonstrations by Deanne Eskridge, Chris Lake and Brad Abrams as well as raku demos with Randy Brodnax, and on-site painting demonstrations from Steve Herndon, Kelsey Kincannon, and Dan & Cathryn Colcer.
Got Ice? Stars vs. Coyotes do too!
Two Western Conference powers meet at the AAC when the Stars host Phoenix. It should be a fun showdown between the talented Coyotes especially since Dave Tippett is a former Stars coach and both teams are playoff bound.
