Event Details ...
Cost: FREE for the guided walking tour - optional lunch afterward at your own expense.
Weather: The event will take place light rain or shine. If it’s on our calendar then we’re proceeding as planned. Reminder, August in Texas is hot - beverages and hats are highly recommended.
Parking: Several options (mostly paid) throughout the area. Please arrive in the area several minutes early so that you have time to find parking and walk to our meeting point.
Before the Event: Optional breakfast, socializing, and restrooms from 8:30 to 9:00 am at Starbucks.
Meeting Point: 8:45 am at Starbucks (next to Sundance Square): 141 West 3rd Steet - Fort Worth. Look for your hosts Robert (wearing a fedora-style hat) and Michele (also wearing a hat) along with a group of friendly people. We’ll depart on our walk at approximately 9:00 am.
Icebreaker Introductions: We should have a good-sized group and so instead of everyone introducing themselves to the group we will get to know each other by distributing blank stickers and colored markers and we’ll ask everyone to write down on their sticker: 1). first name. 2). favorite food. 3). dream vacation. Example: “Michele - Strawberries - Kenya” or “Robert - Chocolate - Tokyo”.
