Thanksgiving Week in Waco!
Happy Thanksgiving, Wacotown!
Like many others, I will be hosting friends and family from out of town. I am so excited to have the opportunity to show off our vibrant community. On Monday, my great aunt and cousin came into town and we partook in all the glory of Magnolia (traffic, construction, food-trucks and all). This weekend my parents will be in town and I can’t wait to share the city I love with them. Magnolia may be some peoples’ #1 must-see in Waco, but I have assembled a great list of events to share with loved ones whether they are locals or just in town for the holidays.
On Thursday, November 25th, Waco Pride Network is partnering with Lakeshore Baptist Church to provide our community with a place to gather for a Thanksgiving meal . Please bring a side dish or dessert for every two or more people in your party.
On Friday, there is going to be an hour and a half of live improv comedy featuring a cast of hilarious professionals from SlapStix at Rogue Media Network. Suggestions will be taken from the audience and will be used for scenes throughout the night. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. show at 8 p.m. Tickets: https://bit.ly/3o4IUCm
