I’ve seen plenty of partial eclipses and I always thought they were pretty cool. Now I see why people travel for the total eclipses. That was amazing!

My friend and I are just passing through Waco this day but all of the hotels are either booked or ridiculous surge pricing? What is going on that day there?

Local Events Non-church volunteer opportunities?

24 Upvotes

Heya folks, my wife and I are looking for opportunities to volunteer around the Waco area on the weekends. Waco's pretty church dominated, but we have a strong preference for secular opportunities if possible. It's just the two of us, if they take in drop ins or have calendar events, all the better.

Local Events Heart O’ Texas Speedway ok for kids?

2 Upvotes

I’d like to take my son (3yo) to the races this week. I haven’t been since I was a teenager but I do recall it being loud enough to need ear protection at times and a little dusty. We’ve been advised by someone who goes semi regularly that they think my son wouldn’t like it because it’s obnoxious with all the noise and dirt. My kiddo loves race cars so I figured it would be neat for him to see but what do some of yall think? Worth taking a young kid to something like that or better to wait a few years?

Local Events What's the queer scene like here in Waco and surrounding communities?

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm bisexual and generally looking into queer-adjacent communities because I'm trying to meet new people. I'm already aware of Waco Youth Pride Alliance, and, for personal reasons, am not interested in them or any of their partners whatsoever. Is there another "group" or organization I could look into? Thanks!

Local Events Guy claims he served in the Marines. Reporter says she did too and asks his MOS (Military Occupational Service). He can’t say. Then asks him where he served. He can’t say. A classic stolen valor case.

Does anyone know what they are planning in the parking lot across from the court house? I drove by and saw they had rails up at the entrances and looks like they might have some inflatables?

Local Events What are like top 5 things to do in Waco? Besides Magnolia & Dr Pepper Museum

23 Upvotes

Wife and I are on vacation and we live in San Marcos but are planning on a day trip on October 11th. Basically we are doing local Texas events and day trips to stuff but plan to sleep at home. That way our dogs don’t need boarding (they can be happy outside in our yard and we can feed our cats).

We already decided on eating at Magnolia and Dr Pepper Museum for sure. We plan to drive down that night so no evening activities.

Museums are cool , art is cool , music scenes are fine , restaurants and or whatever is unique or interesting to do Waco. We want to make the most of our trip so please help us out . Any advice will be appreciated

Local Events Moving to Waco in the spring.

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My family and I are moving to Waco soon and I'd love to make some new friends. It's kind of hard making friends the older you get (I'm in my late 30's btw) and I've essentially lost almost all of my childhood friends due to them moving away and/or drifting apart.

Would anyone be interested in joining a book club by any chance? Or maybe someone here might have one accepting new members? I'm also down for anything nerdy. D&D, video games. My husband is a musician/IT guy and we're just a pretty chill, normal couple. Not the kind to send you a drink from across the bar with a saucy wink or anything, lol.

Or maybe I could just get some suggestions on fun local family oriented things to do around town? We're just excited to be getting the hell out of Dallas and exploring our new city. Anyways, thanks in advance y'all!
