Nov 6    Missed Fortune - Texas Star Dinner Theater
Greedy Granbury Green, the town’s big shot banker, has been bumped off and Marshal Jim Courtright may need a crystal ball to figure out who’s done it. Could it be Dusty Muddwater, the fastidiously clean and directionally challenged prospector with gold in his future? Or was it Tatyana, the self-proclaimed Queen of the Gypsies, who read more than Mr. Green’s palms. Then there’s Clarice Green, wife of the dearly departed, who may have taken her horse training skills a bit too far. Or maybe Mortimer Morton, the local undertaker, had an extra casket to fill. All predictions indicate chaos and laughter in the immediate future as you help the Marshal read the signs and solve the crime.

This event will be attended by Jake Pavelka from The Bachelor, Marty Turco of the Dallas Stars, Damien Lawson from The Voice, and supported by the Dallas Cowboys.

In order to build this home by December 2015, we will be raising funds and holding a fundraiser. At Unlikely Heroes, we love to celebrate life. We would like to invite you to join us on November 12th, 2015 for our Love is the Key Gala at Paradise Cove in Southlake, TX. This is an incredible opportunity to join hands with the community and make real efforts to rescue the live of children who are trapped in human trafficking.

In a world filled with distorted views of love, beauty and purpose, we believe that it's time for the recovery of sight. So many of us feel blind in one area or another.

Hosted by Leave Your Beauty Mark, a local community of young women making a difference, the 20/20 LYBM Summit is a catalyst event to empower young women with the tools necessary to discover a vision for their future, and a healthy vision of themselves. Come and experience a time of empowerment, community and vision as we gather together for one day only. - Speakers - Live music - Spoken word - Panel discussions - Food - Giveaways and more!
