Weekend In Houston

This weekend in Houston there are plenty of diversions in and around the city. I've got the latest scoop on where to find some magnificent music, a wonderful chance to learn belly dancing and a tip on a hot fishing spot for outdoorsman.

Houston Midtown

We can all do some small things to reduce our carbon footprints. One key things is to shop closer to home. For many of us that could be as simple as a weekly visit to the Midtown Farmers market.

It's best to get there early on Saturday mornings before the crowds arrive. There's an eclectic selection of locally produced, fresh fruits, veggies and other goods at this urban farmers market.

TROUT FEST AT AMERICAN LEGION PARK

Saturday, morning January 30 from 9am-11am is a good time for you to catch some fresh trout for dinner.
