CAMP BOWIE DISTRICT NAMES NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Lydia Guajardo Rickard Finds New Home in Familiar Surroundings

Fort Worth’s historic Camp Bowie District Inc. has named Lydia Guajardo Rickard as the public improvement district’s (PID19) new executive director. Rickard has been operating as the District’s interim leader since mid-October 2021 and has a previous four-year history of marketing the business corridor through her former agency, LComm Marketing and Public Relations. Rickard announced the closure of her marketing firm via social media on January 27. 

“We have grown the District to a place where it deserves the attention of fulltime staff and a vison for the next 20 years,” said board chairman J. Mark Harris, president of 8 Feet Development, Inc. “The board of directors has faith that with Lydia’s past experiences and future plans, she will build a team dedicated to advancing small to mid-sized business while improving an already thriving Boulevard.”

Camp Bowie District is comprised of two organizations — a 501(C)(3) and a 501(c)(6) — both engaged in a wide range of activities dedicated to the advancement and preservation of the historic Boulevard. The non-profit arm of the organization is focused on philanthropic and charitable initiatives providing program support, small business focus and marketing efforts. The 501(C)(6) is the member-based arm of the organization that provides advocacy, development and PID management. Improvement efforts have included infrastructure refinement, the implementation of beautification projects, hosting special events and serving as an advocate for all development.

“Camp Bowie District is the keeper of the Boulevard. Our goal is to preserve the integrity of the historic area,” explained Lydia Guajardo Rickard, executive director. “We are dedicated to preserving the economic engine that is assembled of more than 400 small to mid-sized businesses, many of which are locally-owned.”

Camp Bowie District strategically analyzes the historic corridor identifying improvements that are needed. By identifying projects and needs based on evaluations and feedback from businesses, Rickard will lead the delegation of assessments from property owners to fund future PID projects such as maintenance, landscaping & beautification, litter abatement, safety and security, marketing advocacy, communications, economic development and future planning.

Rickard opened LComm Marketing and Public Relations in November of 2006. She quickly grew her communications consulting business to one of the most trusted and versatile marketing firms in North Texas, with a client roster including Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Foundation, Fort Worth Housing Solutions, General Motors (across 13 states), LVTRise, Parkland Foundation, TCU Athletics, United Community Centers, Inc. and more. Rickard’s love for her community shines with two decades of volunteer leadership to a variety of non-profit organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Fort Worth Library Foundation, Fort Worth Sister Cities, Ladies on the Lamb, Tarrant County College (TCC) Foundation, The Warm Place and Victory over Violence.

2022 DFW RV Party at AT&T Stadium

by | Jan 7, 2022 | Family Fun, Festivals, Fort Worth News & Events, Shopping, Transportation

Fun Town RV will be bringing the annual DFW RV Party back to AT&T Stadium on March 10th – 13th.

The show will build on last year’s success by turning up the notch with bigger performers, more special guests,and even more RVs. The show has grown so large that it takes more than just the football field to contain it. Show entry will be in the West Plaza where you will find many RVs and boats, then you will make your way through multiple vendors from all over, and then onto the Stadium floor where RVs will cover the entire football field. There will be live music, as well as games, door prizes, product demonstrations, and the very latest RV models on the market. All inside the home of the Dallas Cowboys!

Admission is free!

Hosted by Fun Town RV, the largest RV retail chain in Texas, the DFW RV Party will give everyone the chance to view and shop towable RVs from 5 manufacturers, 32 of the top Brands, and over 100 of the latest models and floor plans. Factory and Banking representatives will be on hand, with special programs and discounts so incredible you may never see them again. If you can make only one RV show this year, this is the one to see.

The DFW RV Party will feature visits from former and current Dallas Cowboy players, the world-famous Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, and mascot Rowdy. To top this party off further, there will be a very special guest who will get things even more ramped up. Fun Town RV has invited none other than the Nature Boy, Ric Flair to drop by and say “Wooooo”.

“We wanted to do something more than just a normal RV show. In fact, I believe that no one should ever have to pay to shop for an RV ever again. This event should be considered an RV Party. That is why we are offering free parking, free admission, door prizes, and family fun for all. It is our privilege to host the RV community, the Cowboys Nation, and everyone in the Great State of Texas and to have the chance to show them why they should become a part of the Fun Town Family,” said Jarrod “The Mayor” McGhee CEO and Owner of Fun Town RV.

“The Cowboys have helped make this event special with player autograph sessions, ultimate fan experiences, Rowdy and Cheerleaders available to interact with everyone during the Party,” McGhee continues. “Anytime you get the chance to partner with a world-class organization like the Dallas Cowboys and the Jones family it is an honor and a privilege. The fact that our company started in 2010 with a very humble beginning and has now grown to an organization that can host an event like this, with a venue like AT&T stadium makes me as proud as I can be.”

The show runs from 10am – 7pm on March 10th-12th and 10am – 5pm Sunday on March 13th. For more information and schedules visit DFWRVPARTY.com

All show pricing will be honored at all 11 Fun Town RV retail locations in Cleburne, Corsicana, Rockwall, Denton, Giddings, Waco, Houston, Conroe, San Angelo, Oklahoma, and Tyler.

Ariat Brand Shop Opens in Historic Fort Worth Stockyards

The new Ariat store will showcase its western performance and lifestyle products and serve as a  main venue for brand activations and events.

Fort Worth, Texas – Ariat, the leading Western performance and lifestyle brand, today announced the opening of a new retail store in Fort Worth Texas, in Mule Alley at the Fort Worth Stockyards. This shop will be the brand’s fifth retail location within the U.S.

“The Fort Worth Stockyards has a rich history of western culture; it could not have been a better home for our next brand shop,” said Beth Cross, Co-Founder and CEO of Ariat. “As we look to expand our business and serve our customers, we are prioritizing markets, like Fort Worth, in which the heart of Ariat’s community is represented.”

“We are building an unparalleled, one-stop destination for the ultimate Western heritage brands at Mule Alley, and Ariat is the perfect addition to our tenant mix,” said Majestic Realty Executive Vice President Craig Cavileer. “Ariat’s Western performance and lifestyle products will add another dimension to the shopping experience at the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards, and we’re excited for them to open just in time for the holidays.”

Ariat’s Fort Worth Brand Shop is inspired by the western heritage of the Stockyards and will showcase notable artists with western influences. Continuing its tradition of location-inspired wood sculptures, the Fort Worth store will feature a longhorn driftwood sculpture with western performance embellishments to commemorate the tradition of rodeo.

Ariat has strong Southwestern roots, including partnerships with Professional Bull Riders, National High School Rodeo Association, Ariat World Series of Team Roping, and with top athletes Trevor Brazile, Jackie Hobbs-Crawford, José Vitor Leme, and Kaycee Feild. The Fort Worth Brand Shop will create another opportunity to deepen the brand’s connection with the western community in Texas.

In 2021, Ariat expanded its Texas operations with the opening of a regional distribution center in partnership with the City of Fort Worth, Denton County and the State of Texas. Operating as a regional hub for the brand, the distribution center has brought new jobs to the local Dallas / Fort Worth community. In January of 2021, Ariat opened a fifth Outlet Store in El Paso, Texas.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS  (July 26, 2021) – The historic Fort Worth Stockyards is pleased to announce retail emporium Flea Style will be expanding with a store opening in Mule Alley in fall 2021. Known for supporting unique style and small businesses, the Mule Alley location of Flea Style will offer a similar experience for shoppers, including retail items such as local goods, artisan clothing, jewelry, home decor, custom hats, and western-influenced pieces for the local customer.

 Originally an outdoor pop-up flea market called The Dallas Flea founded by Brittany Cobb in 2009, Flea Style will open its third retail store in Mule Alley featuring custom collaborations between makers, rare finds that Cobb sources around the globe, including clothing, jewelry, home decor, hats, and unique western wear. 

“We’re so excited to expand to Cowtown,” says Brittany Cobb, CEO and founder, who sprinkles her personal flea market finds throughout the stores monthly. “With the success of our Wide Brim concept store in Hotel Drover and our Stetson hat collection, we know Mule Alley is the perfect location to bring our retail and restaurant brands and cannot wait to swing open our doors.”

The 3,400-square-foot space will also house their biggest hat bar to date, slinging their private label Stetson collection as well as colorful vegan options and a huge assortment of unique accents for customers to make bespoke hats. A mini version of their full-fledged restaurant Heirloom Haul will also sit inside offering specialty sips such as their best-selling frosé and signature lattes for guests to enjoy in-store or while walking around the Mule Alley district. 

“Flea Style completes our tenant mix of western wear brands that are available at Mule Alley and cements our status as the only place that visitors can find an unparalleled, curated retail experience,” says Fort Worth Heritage Development Co. Team Leader Design and Development Kayla Wilkie. “Flea Style customers travel far and wide to experience Cobb’s unique mix, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to offer that to Fort Worth locals and Stockyards tourists alike.”

Flea Style will join Mule Alley’s open tenants, including Marriott Autograph Collection resort Hotel Drover, Provender Hall, Sidesaddle Saloon, Shake Shack, Lucchese Bootmaker, American Paint Horse Association’s flagship experience, Biscuit Bar, Cowtown Winery, Wrangler, King Ranch Saddle Shop, Proper Supply Co., and Simpli.fi national headquarters. Mule Alley will soon welcome additional retail and restaurants, including Second Rodeo Brewing Co., Avoca Coffee, two new restaurant concepts from Chef Tim Love, and MELT Ice Creams. 

Flea Style is located at 128 E Exchange Ave and will be open Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, please visit fleastyle.com and follow on Instagram @fleastyle.

Mayfest Festival Canceled For 2021

Mayfest Festival Canceled For 2021

by | Feb 5, 2021 | Arts, Family Fun, Festivals, Food, Fort Worth News & Events, Live Music, Shopping

Trinity Collaborative, Inc. announced the Mayfest festival is canceled for 2021, but
plans have begun for the 50th Anniversary Mayfest in 2022

FORT WORTH, Texas – Trinity Collaborative, Inc. announces the
cancelation of the Mayfest 2021 festival in the overall interest of public health and
safety due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. It is our social responsibility to continue
to place the safety and wellbeing of our patrons, volunteers, vendors, partners and
community as our top priority.

This difficult decision was made with great care and deliberation after numerous
meetings with public health officials. At this time, a gathering as large and populous as
Mayfest negates the efforts to minimize the effects of COVID-19. The cancelation will
help advance the health of our community, allowing for future opportunities to safely
congregate and unite once again.

We are enthusiastically planning the 50th Anniversary of Mayfest, which will take place
May 5th – 8th, 2022. Now more than ever, we look forward to connecting people to the
river, our parks and each other in a safe, welcoming environment.

Trinity Collaborative, Inc., formally known as Mayfest, Inc., recently expanded the
organization’s operations to produce other events and introduce new programs in
addition to the annual Mayfest festival. Plans are underway for new, exciting
developments that support the organization’s mission to raise and contribute funds for
the Trinity River, surrounding parks and community programs.

We appreciate your continued support during this time and encourage you to follow
us on social media or visit our website for the most current information.
