It's time...and the weather's lookin' good! The 35th MAYFEST kicked off today--undeterred by mother nature's windy threat yesterday.

Fort Worth’s oldest family & community festival runs thru Sunday near downtown and the cultural district...on 33 acres in beautiful Trinity Park on the banks of  the river.

FOX 4 and MY 27 are among the proud sponsors of the event this year. And a bunch of us will be out at MAYFEST to meet and greet YOU! (I'll be out there Saturday afternoon.) Be sure to look for our booth. We'll be stocked with lots of cool giveaways and games...plus we'll be signing autographs.

Join us as we celebrate this annual Fort Worth tradition, bringing families and communities together along the Trinity River as we focus on children, arts, music and culture. 

Soooo go ahead and grab your sunglasses, spf, and join us in Fort Worth this weekend...for MAYFEST 2007!
