Senior citizens get in free Thursday. The big Mayfest parade is at 2 p.m. May 5. It starts at Farrington Field, runs through Trinity Park and heads back up University Drive to Farrington Field. Mayfest is a nonprofit group that donates all of its proceeds to the Junior League of Fort Worth, Streams and Valleys Inc., and Fort Worth Community Services. More than 4,000 volunteers are needed to work the festival.
Volunteers receive a T-shirt and free admission during and after their shift.
By Terry Lee Goodrich Star-Telegram staff writer Finding faces in the gnarled trunks of trees is almost as common an activity as looking for fanciful figures in the floating puffy white of summertime clouds. But metal worker and artist Dan Shuster has turned the pastime into an art form, designing metal trees especially for Euless' annual Arbor Daze this weekend. I call it my Old Man Tree. It's all part of the city's annual nonalcoholic celebration to promote the planting and preservation of trees. This year's giveaways will be shumard red oak, Chinese pistache and bald cypress, Beck says.
