If you haven't stopped by the National Western Stock Show, this weekend is your last chance to grab your boots and head out there. Stock Show events include an auctioneer open bid calling event, several pro rodeos and much more.
Are livestock and rodeos not your thing? Stop by the Selfie@Stanley pop-up exhibit. Also, National Can Appreciation Day takes place on Monday but Dry Dock Brewing Co. is celebrating early with its annual Can Bash Celebration at its driving range on Saturday. That's right, guests will hit cans rather than golf balls.
As COVID-19 cases ramp up across the metro and mask mandates are still in place, we decided to update our listings. Events with an * indicate the event is taking place virtually or outdoors.
