"This year will be our second annual Arts, Beats, and Eats which is a great event to spend a summer weekend filled with live music and other art forms," explained Public House bartender Anna Womack, UNT Dance major. "Not only will there will amazing gourmet snacks (which look like art) but Coolio will be performing as well, and if anyone can find something better to do in Denton during this, then let me know." This festival is sure to leave it's mark on the community of Denton.  |
