About 14 years ago we bought a house about 1/8mi from the south side of Walnut Creek park.

Tour de Fresh Texas gets spooky for salad bars
By Anissa Fritz
www.thepacker.com
By partnering Fort Worth’s FitWorth program, the Tour de Fresh Texas expects to place more salad bars in Fort Worth schools than originally planned.
Tour de Fresh, scheduled for the past three years in connection with an annual Produce Marketing Association trade show, makes its debut as a local event in Fort Worth.

“Our goal, much like Tour de Fresh, is …
