Most people have heard of the Dallas Pride festival and parade this weekend at Fair Park. But what are some of the other Pide events going on around North Texas? Morning Edition Host Andrew Garcia and I decided to take a look at some other out-of-the-ordinary Pride activities happening in our neck of the woods. One event putting a spin on a traditional parade is happening at the Denton Civic Center Friday, June 13 at Pridenton’s Night Out.

We all know that public libraries are where you go to check out books, but did you also know it can be a great place to get a little TLC for beloved stuffed animals? KERA’s Morning Edition host Andrew Garcia and I recently discovered an event at the Timberglen branch of the Dallas Public Library that brings new life to well-loved toys. The Stuffed Animal Hospital is part of the library’s children’s programming where visitors can bring in their plush toys for repairs.
