Cooler temperatures are in the forecast, kids are back in their school routines and football is back!! Man, that felt good to say out loud! The Red Raiders are expected to have a potent offence and an increased focus on the defensive front with new Head Coach Joey McGuire. Expectations are high and the tailgating will be everyone’s favorite social event. Friday Night Lights are in full swing and everything just seems more normal again … am I right? My son, Maverick, will be participating in his first ever Flag Football Camp followed by his first season. I mean, it’s Texas right, my boy MUST play football! All jokes aside, he is very excited to see what this is all about. Growing up in Kentucky, basketball has always been king. Personally, I’ve always been a huge football fan! From high school Friday nights to College Game Day on Saturday mornings … Monday through Friday was just something we went through until all the great games kicked off!

Make some furry friends at Prairie Dog Town

Imagine loving an animal so much that you create a town dedicated to them (and eventually become dubbed mayor of that town). That’s exactly what Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy Clapp did in the 1930s: they found prairie dogs to be so entertaining that they started a protected prairie dog colony.

“Of all nature’s wild creatures, none is more appealing and entertaining to watch than the prairie dog,” wrote Frank Oliver in his 1973 history of Prairie Dog Town. “The little mammal is a born comic and ham, and where he might be seen at close range he keeps his audience squealing with delight and affection. One might suspect the prairie dog of purposely planning his habitat to be a stage on which to perform.”

Plan a whole day for the Museum of Texas Tech University

Calling all knowledge-hungry visitors: Texas Tech’s renowned museum features nearly 9 million pieces across all its collections of history, paleontology, fine arts, clothing and textiles, natural sciences and anthropology. In one hall you’ll view ancient South American paintings, and in the next you might find yourself studying birds and invertebrates.

The museum’s upcoming traveling exhibit is A History of Walls: The Borders We Build, a look into the significance of iconic barriers from the Berlin Wall to the Great Wall of China to the US-Mexico border wall.
