Happy Thursday, neighbor.


Even though Legos are usually perceived as children’s toys, they’re often used by artists as a creative form of storytelling. Some builders push their imaginations by constructing large-scale projects such as cityscapes and castles.Β 


Some of those mind-blowing projects are coming to Fort Worth this weekend for the return of the Brick Convention at Dickies Arena. Lego of your worries and immerse yourself in some creative displays.


Also, if you’ve never tried Greek dishes before, there’s a unique opportunity to sample Mediterranean delights at a Euless food festival. Find out more below!


Until next time,
