We’ve rounded up the coolest kids camp as well as some great crafts for you and the kiddos! We have also highlighted some young entrepreneurs (ages 7 and 10) who have recently started up their own business. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from living in Fort Worth, it’s that we sure do love our pets! This issue also highlights some of the best dog grooming and boarding for our furry friends. Also, be sure to check out a special dog who holds an important title as Chief Happiness Officer. As summer winds down and we prepare for another school year ahead, we remind you to take the time and enjoy some quality time with your kids—and pets—this month. As always, thanks for reading, and we’ll see you around town!

AROUND TOWN With the 2021 John Sasso National Community Development Week Award, NCDA recognized Fort Worth’s marketing and social media efforts. The campaign highlighted the programs and services as well as community development projects undertaken over the last year utilizing CDBG and HOME funds, including park improvements, multifamily housing developments and social service programs. The week's highlights included a focus on the Community Development Council, the City Council-appointed, resident advisory board that works with the Neighborhood Services Department in reviewing proposed plans and projects and making funding recommendations to

GLAMOUR PAWS & THE PAW PAD (CONTINUED)

The Paw Pad is also a hub for family-friendly events. Every third Thursday of the month, there is a Yappy Hour. Families can bring their dogs and kids, it’s BYOB, there’s a raffle, and they’re hoping to expand with more vendors and food trucks in the future. They have a Barktober event with a pet costume contest, and twice a year there will be a weenie dog race! Charlene is also busy organizing new events for 2021, like a Doodle Dash and a neighborhood Pup Crawl. “We’ve been trying to bring the community together,” says Baxter. What makes Glamour Paws and The Paw Pad different from other grooming and dog care companies? Charlene says it’s all about the customer service and the level of knowledge in her staff. “We treat customers like family,” she says. Plus, “everything we bring into the store, as far as food and treats, are all-natural products; you won’t find them in big box stores. I do a lot of research to make sure we’re getting the right products for our customers. We also do food training with the staff, and once a year we do training seminars for the groomers.” Charlene’s business has grown at an impressive rate in five years. The first location only had three employees, and now in 2021, there are 37. C.R. Paws Mobile Grooming is still in operation, now with three vans and six groomers. “I have a good work ethic,” says Baxter. “And my son helped a lot. He pushed me to do better.” The business hasn’t been without its challenges though, the biggest being running one business while building another during COVID. “Sometimes you sit back and think, did I really do all this? And other times you sit back and think, why am I doing this? But I love it.” For more information visit glamourpawsonline.com or pawpads.com.

SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO GET SOME QUALITY TIME IN WITH YOUR KIDS (AND KEEP THEM BUSY)? Put down the tablet and bust out the toolbox—the craft toolbox, that is...we don’t condone giving power tools to children. When you’re looking for some productive indoor time to spend while empowering your little ones’ imaginations, consider these easy (but we can’t promise mess-free!) projects you can create with a few standard supplies and a lot of creativity.

+ Cardboard + White crepe paper + Construction paper + Glue + Scissors + Beads, yarn, pom poms, etc.

DIRECTIONS 1. Take your cardboard and cut two pieces into the shape of a llama (we found a stencil online). Then, cut strips of cardboard the depth you want your llama to be. You’ll connect these to either side of the llama cutouts to enclose your piñata. 2. Glue your strip of cardboard all along the edge of one side of your llama, then glue to the other side. (Be sure to leave a hole you can close up later so you can fill it with your favorite candy!) 3. Starting at the neck, cover the front, back and sides of your llama with white crepe paper, cutting a slit every half inch or so to create the traditional piñata look. 4. Cover all remaining sides the neck and head with white construction paper, cut to fit your design. 5. Using construction paper, beads, pom poms, tassels, buttons, etc., add some flair to the rest of your llama! Bonus points for incorporating different shapes and textures into your final product.

Fold the circles in half and glue them all together back-to-back to create a sphere that looks like an accordion. 3. Glue the beak and white stripe to the neck, then glue the neck to a flat side of your inner-most circle. 4. Add the legs, a black dot for an eye and pink feathers for the ultimate flamin-goal.

LIFESTYLE CALENDAR

Fort Worth Cops for Kids is raising funds and donations of car seats for

the citizens within the Fort Worth community. The event kicks off with

a 5K in the morning and continues with live music and family fun throughout the day.

Real. TEXAS. Wine. For generations, the small town church house has been the spiritual and social heart of the community. Cheerful celebrations take place through large wooden doors, under the watch of soaring steeples. Our Texas wines bring together the best from our family’s High Plains vineyards. Fruit driven and well suited for any occasion.
