Teachers on Ice!

Tonight we took the entire family to Teachers on Ice. If you have never been, it is a wonderful event that benefits the Frisco Education Foundation. It pairs the teachers of Frisco in a grudge match hockey game. My kids loved the game and the turnout packed the house.

I got 3rd place in the "Chuck a Puck" contest and won my boys an autographed hockey puck. I cannot quite make out who actually signed it but I am sure it is someone very important :)

Frisco-Online.com's 2nd Annual Kid's Safety Day

Today we have our 2nd annual kid's safety day at Legacy Christian Academy. The weather did not hold up for us but we did need the rain. Despite the poor weather he had another great event. A few hundred families showed up to learn bike safety, get car seat checks, get finger prints and ID checks, learn pool safety, and much more! We even got to see the Care-Flight helicopter land in the parking lot!

This is quickly becoming a great pre-summer tradition that we really enjoy doing. Thank you to all of our volunteers that helped make this a great event.

Jimmy Buffett comes to Frisco

I got to take a break tonight from the campaign trail and attend the Jimmy Buffett concert with my wife and some friends. I was my first Margaritaville experience. As always, Pizza Hut Park was a great venue for a concert and the weather was perfect. Jimmy Buffett's performance was not bad either.

Of course, all of my friend's were calling me on the way home asking what I was going to do about the traffic problem after concerts when I am on Council. I guess that goes with the territory.

Relay For Life

After our softball game, our family headed over to the Frisco Relay for Life Event. Frisco-Online has become the perennial top fund raiser. Our team raised over $10,000 for cancer research this year.

My kids got to se the illuminary dedicated to Dana's mom, who died of cancer a few years ago. Zach still remembers his mimi and said he was glad she was in heaven.

The event was held at Pizza Hut Park this year which was a great venue. And we finally had great weather after the last 2 years of terrible weather.

Wal-Mart Opens in Frisco

I went by the Wal-Mart ribbon cutting today. We live in Northwest Frisco so I am certain we will use it often. It is a joe on Frisco-Online on "when will Wal-Mart open?" Well, it is finally here

Frisco Education Foundation Scholarship Night

Tonight was the highlight of all of the hard work that goes into the Frisco Education Foundation. Tonight we awarded scholarships to high school seniors to help jump start their college career. I received a similar scholarship when I was a high school senior which greatly assisted my ability to go to college so serving on this Board is very rewarding for me. I was happy to hear one of the students I presented to was attending my alma mater, the University of Texas. He is going pre-med and I wish him, along with all other seniors, the best of luck as they go off to college.

Mix and Mingle at Bonnie Ruth's

Tonight we had our Frisco-Online.com Mix and Mingle at Bonnie Ruth's. What a great turnout! Bonnie is always such a great host and I finally got to meet "Mr. Bonnie Ruth." If you have not been yet, this has quickly become the hottest spot in Frisco. The back patio is incredible with a fireplace. I look forward to Dana and I getting to have a "date night" there....I think Dana's birthday on April 16th will be the perfect opportunity.
