The Wild West Brew Fest is an annual fundraiser event in Katy, TX. Over the past several years they…read moreand their sponsors have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for regional charities. (See http://www.wildwestbrewfest.com/this-is-our-passion/ of the list). I started coming here four years ago only for the beer. Reason enough really but then I learned that if you volunteer you get free beer. Free beer?! I'm all in. After volunteering now three years in a row I've learned there is more to this than beer. We raise funds for needy organizations and have fun doing it. Wow. Back to the beer ... there are hundreds of different taps, bottles and cans of craft beer to be tasted. From the big names like Ballast Point, Dechutes, Shiner and Goose Island to the Houston favorites like Buffalo Bayou, 8th Wonder and Karbach. Most of the brewers have their pro staff nearby to tell you more about there brewing process and some of the subtleties of that blend which you may not pick up right away. Kinds of hops, barrel wood and water source aren't often written onto the can ya know!? Live music is played on two stages while people walk from booth to boot and sample. Other booths have t-shirts, mugs, and other fun stuff for sale. Many of the sponsors have booths set up with deals at venues like Top Golf, Remax and so forth. Food? Man there are all kinds of food stalls available ranging from my favorite the Venezuelan "Essentials" to my second favorite which serves lobster rolls. There also Greek, Asian and of course Texas style brisket.

Went to the Katy Home and Garden show last weekend, while looking around we talked to the Rep at…read morethe Carvestone display, liked the look of the product, the rep stated the price averaged out to about $10 to $12 per square foot so we agreed to have someone come out to give estimate, this rep came back with $22.50 per square foot. What a crock, lesson learned be very careful at these home shows across the Nation going on they will tell you anything to get into your home. The show itself was not too bad. Many exhibits and things being sold. Nice way to spend the day. Just did not like being misled about cost of product just to get into my home.

This place has some wonderful light displays. A great place for a family outing. There are so…read moremany frames and arches for family pictures and Christmas cards. I think my two favorites are the white crown and the carriage you can sit in. Both are lovely. Getting into and out of the parking lot is easy with multiple exits. We went on a Saturday and it was slightly crowded and there were some Lines to the best photo ops. Only about 8 families deep tho, so it probably went fast. We just went to the next photo place. Most impressive were the castle, mermaid, carriage and white crown. The alleyways with curved light features were very cute. I did not see the maze or space shuttle that were mentioned in other posts. It took us about 1 hour and 15 min to view all the lights. I got discounted tickets on Groupon before I got there.

we have attended magical winter lights for years now, and it truly gets better every year. the…read morechoice to move to the fort bend county fairgrounds in rosenberg was a good call. the venue is gigantic with plenting of parking, sooo many lights, a carnival, food and craft vendors, and acrobat performances. at ~$25 (cheaper on groupon), the entry fee is really worth the amount of attractions they offer, plenty entertaining for both adults and kids alike - the lights: very stunning and there are so many different themes. travel through an ice kingdom, stroll through dinosaurs, enter in outer space, and end up in the east! this year for the first time they have a cozy and festive mini train that takes you through the park for only $5. also don't miss the wishing tree and write your prayers and dreams to hang up for the new year :) - the acrobat performances: BESTTT part of the experience hands down. this alone is worth coming here for. these acrobats are insanely talented and showcase chinese culture so beautifully through classic stunts, beautiful clothing, traditional chinese dances, music choices, etc. the performances are different each year, but they last around 30-40 minutes and have 2 showings every night! - the vendors: i dont really care for them since they are overpriced (as expected), but its hard to resist a cup of hot chocolate or some elotes on a cold winter night. the crafts are pretty interesting and uniquely chinese, which is worth checking out at the very least. - the carnival: it seems like they just stuck this part on for people to do in case they are bored, but its nothing special. just an average carnival with typical games and pay-to-win prizes overall this is an amazing experience to get into the holiday season and in my honest opinion sooo much more worth than constellation field or surrounding light shows. some aspects of it definitely shine brighter than the others, but theres def plenty to do and see regardless!

This is my 2nd year visiting the Light Park and it is such a fun experience every time! We tried to…read morego after Christmas to avoid the crowds and around 10pm. The light park is open until 11pm during Christmas week so that definitely helps avoid traffic/crowds. When we got there at 10pm, there was almost no line or wait time. The website said that there was a 15-30 minute wait, but we actually were able to go straight to the front. There were only a few cars infront of us and a few behind us, so we were able to go through the whole drive thru trail within 8-9 minutes. I wish it was a bit longer, but my favorite part is how the lights sync with their radio station (87.5 I believe). The music definitely adds to the experience significantly! Although we got through the trail fairly quickly, I feel like it would be more fun if we went a time where there slightly more crowds so it would take at least a little longer to go through the trail. We drove for almost 50 minutes to get there and finished the whole experience in 1/5 of that time. I would recommend buying the ticket online (per car entry) since it is slightly cheaper than buying it in person. I paid $50 for one car. Overall, a fun experience with friends and/or family!

No line on thanksgiving night…read more The convenience of a drive through light show is amazing not only for the weather but for families that have members who cannot endure long walking. They have a radio station for you to tune to that matches the frequency of the lights. Beautiful animations that I'm sure take a lot of time to create. There are snacks and refreshments available to purchase. Movie theatre prices. A great addition to get in the holiday spirit. Honestly wish the show was a tad longer.

I kept having to ask what color and brush to use because she wasn't very vocal about what she was doing during the steps . Eventually my husband just did his own thing because he couldn't keep up and I felt the same . I have been to a different location and had the most amazing time but this time was kind of a let down . We had instructor Amy I believe. I do wish to go again but with a different instructor.
