Big Tex will be saying “Buh-bye” at the State Fair of Texas on Sunday night, so if you’re interested in Peanut Butter Paradise or a corny dog, better make plans now. And by plans, we mean whatever you do, don’t go on a Saturday or Sunday and try to ride the TRE and the DART. Unless you prefer a two and a half hour one way journey (lesson learned).
Below are some fun and unique events to keep you busy over the next few days.
Riscky BBQ is 95 years old
Fort Worth Stockyards, 140 E. Exchange Ave.
5 pm – 7 pm Thursday, October 20
Riscky’s Barbeque is a longtime institution in downtown Fort Worth. For its 95th birthday, enjoy 95-cent specials at each location, including chopped beef and pulled pork sandwiches, beef ribs, pork ribs, brisket tacos, fried pickles and more (dine-in only). From 5 pm to 7 pm at the Stockyards location, there’s a party with free BBQ samples, craft beer and a live radio broadcast from 95.9 The Ranch.
’90s – 9th Birthday Theme Party
Community Beer Co., 3110 Commonwealth Drive
Saturday, October 22
Community Beer Co. is one of the original craft breweries in the still local beer scene in Dallas. It’s actually about 10 years old now, but after failing to throw a proper party due to construction delays for the ninth time, the brewery is calling for a makeover. The theme is the 90s, so spray your hair out and head over for an all day party where all the over 40s tapes will be flowing. Live music and food from the new kitchen will help the brew taste even better. Tickets are on sale now and range from $30 to $65; depending on which tier of ticket you get, the party will start at noon, 1:30pm or 3pm

Miss carving pumpkins? Odd Muse have you covered. A $35 ticket gets you two full draft beers, a carving kit AND a gutted pumpkin. That’s the deal right there — they do the dirty work for you. Since this drops on Tuesdays, that means lagers are $4 all day. That’s just in case you need more hydration after your two free beers and all that carving.
