If you've never been to PBR you need to go! It's fun, loud, fueled with fire and packed with adrenaline, but the best part? You're not the one getting beat up by the bull.

Southwest Chocolate & Coffee Fest — March 21-22


Believe me, there is way more to this event than just coffee and chocolate. Last year, I went and didn't eat anything with a coca bean in it. I know, that is a crime. But, this event has gourmet everything and the best part? It's all local products that taste so damn sweet.
