This Week in Denton County: Sweet Treats, Distillery Tours, New Homes and More!
🌟 Discover What’s Happening Around Denton County This Week!
Happy Monday, Denton County!
The votes are in, and apparently Denton has earned the title of most hated city in Denton County (though we still think it's pretty great). Beyond the poll drama, there's plenty to love this week: adoptable pets looking for homes, a distillery in Pilot Point serving up craft cocktails and tours, and sweet treats waiting in Krum. Whether you're house hunting in Corinth, dining farm-to-table in Roanoke, or catching weekday events around the county, this edition has your guide to the best local spots and happenings. Sometimes the most "hated" places have the most character, and this week proves Denton County delivers on both.
We know our posting times have been a little off lately, and we appreciate your patience as we navigate a busy summer and work through a few technical issues. We're working behind the scenes to get everything back on track, so you can rely on us showing up consistently in your inbox.
In today’s edition:
