THE WOODLANDS, TX – Quote of the week: “Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.” – William Shakespeare
It’s the last week of July, and it’s crunch time to fit in as many activities as you can before the school year starts up and we careen towards autumn and the holidays. Here’s a sampling of some of our favorites!
All Week
The YMCA’s annual Operation Backpack is underway! For 18 years, YMCA Operation Backpack has provided school supplies for children in communities across the Houston area, filling them with hope for a brighter future as they start the school year. The children in our community need us now more than ever. We serve pre-K-12th Grade with the drive. Your investment provides children the opportunity to return to learning with the tools to be successful. Funds raised will be used to purchase packaged school supplies that will be distributed to children in need in communities across the Houston area. Make a donation at your local HEB either in-store or online when doing curbside shopping.

It’s easy to think of tribute bands as glorified cover bands, but you need to see one in action to believe how awesome they are. Cue a special event at Dosey Doe - The Big Barn: Dinner and Live Music with Killer Queen, the greatest-selling tribute band in the world. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. – along with the kitchen – and the festivities begin soon thereafter. This is one Queenly concert you want to get your tickets for now before they sell out!
