Every single person who volunteers for Trails Without Trash can make a difference in removing litter from the District's public spaces along its 4-mile trail system. | |

Save the date for the morning of Saturday, March 26.

The trail continues all the way to Arthur Storey Park south of Bellaire. A popular amenity in the District, trails free of litter are a year-round priority.
"Trails Without Trash is a great way to volunteer and help us keep public areas beautiful," said Kelly McNabb Aylesworth, Westchase District's maintenance director. "We need an enormous number of volunteers to join us in this effort to keep our trails free of trash."

Fat Boys Kitchen Cooks Up Street Tacos | |
El Fat Boys' Melissa Garza prepares a chicken quesadilla take home order. | |
El Fat Boy Kitchen by Mameres Catering might be a new Farmers Market vendor but is no stranger to preparing quick and tasty street food. Thanks to El Fat Boy, the enticing aroma of grilled tacos and quesadillas has made a sizzling return to the market.
El Fat Boy Kitchen by Mameres Catering gives customers in search of a full meal an inexpensive, quick eats option – each order is prepared and grilled on the spot.
The vendor is following a basic market rule of thumb that affirms people are willing to try something when presented with fewer options. The menu is simple: two tacos and charro beans or a large quesadilla and charro beans for $5-6 with your choice of beef or chicken.
“We are thrilled to get a vendor like El Fat Boy at the market,” said Farmers Market Manager John Carey. “They help create a street food atmosphere and make the market a festive place to get meals to go.”
