“Take care of the customer and everything else will take care of itself.”

-James Cavender A Texas western classic marks its 50th anniversary in 2015. Cavender’s has become the go-to western wear retailer with a reach spanning eight states.

James R. Cavender, patriarch of Cavender’s Boot City, is quoted as saying, “There is a four-letter word…W-O-R-K … nothing is going to happen unless you’re willing to WORK.” And you would expect nothing less from the visionary entrepreneur who is the world’s largest retailer of handcrafted boots.

In 1957, James R. Cavender opened a little burger joint called the Dairy Hart in the small East Texas town of Pittsburg.

After years of this, he grew tired of dipping ice cream and flipping hamburgers and decided to open a clothing store Cavender

Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico.

Cavender’s is truly a family operation with James’ eldest son, Joe, serving as president of the company. His brothers, Mike and Clay Cavender, are also involved – Mike is in charge of site selection while

& Smith’s. A year later, James bought out his partner and, being a farm boy with an agricultural degree, he bought three styles of Tony Lama boots. History was now in the making for the renamed Cavender’s.

Mr. Cavender’s strong work ethic, which he passed to his family and associates, endures, and they proudly celebrate 50 years of hard work and trend-setting cow-ture.

Today, Cavender’s is distinguished in the industry as a western tradition 70 stores strong, 50 of which are peppered across the Lone Star State. The rest are in Louisiana,

Clay oversees store design and merchandising. Half a century later, their father and company founder, James, is still involved.

Their mother, Pat, still decorates all new and remodeled stores. Her diligence and attention to detail ensures that customers experience the true western style in each store.

The Cavender family owns and operates five working ranches throughout Texas, allowing them to gather inspiration for their “ranch tested” products. Combining a little of the old west with a lot of the new, Cavender’s offers the latest and most affordable

styles in western wear. Cavender’s stores carry work wear, classic western styles, the latest trends in men’s and ladies’ fashion, accessories, home décor and, of course, boots!

Cavender’s is the world’s largest retailer in handcrafted boots, carrying a selection offered nowhere else. Choose from brands such as Ariat, Justin, Lucchese, Tony Lama and many others.

Along with the most popular footwear, you’ll find the latest styles in jeans, shirts, outerwear, jewelry and accessories. If you’re looking for a new hat, the symbol of the American West, you are sure to find the perfect one at Cavender’s. Their selection

includes felt, straw and palm leaf styles for folks of all ages, from brands such as Stetson, Resistol, Rodeo King and more.

You’ll find a huge selection of men’s jeans from Rock & Roll Cowboy, Cinch, Ariat and Wrangler. Women’s jeans and skirts are from Miss Me, Grace in LA, Rock & Roll Cowgirl, Wrangler and more. These brands stand for quality, durability and value.

West is Among the Best for Culture and Shopping-and-Dining Delights

A

by Michael H. Price

As long as we’re “out where the West begins,” as an iconic figure in Fort Worth’s history described this Cowtown, then we might as well look even further westward within the city itself. Pioneering publisher and civic booster Amon Carter may have intended to give Dallas the razz when he coined that phrase — but the West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth.

And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have picked a site more right for its burgeoning west side Cultural District. Rippling with heavy-duty commercial, artistic and residential growth since the dawn of the 21st century, the west side overall has seen its very skyline change with the transformation of a busy West Seventh Street into a streamlined conduit connecting the downtown area’s Sundance Square development with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the Cultural District radiating from the intersection where Seventh Street crosses University Drive and, in the process, morphs into the historic, brick-paved Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining to fine art and varied entertainment — will find such delights in volume on the west side.

Cultural attractions, restaurants, mainstream and special-interest shopping, and lavish natural gardens flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has built upon its frontier origins. Several of the world’s finer museums, playhouses and galleries anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid red-brick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard is an attraction in itself, lined with an everexpanding array of art galleries, stage-andscreen auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls.

The Cultural District The Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, commands the westward view of the district from Montgomery Street and just northward are additional cultural touchstones: An expanded and redesigned Amon Carter Museum of American Art, houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture, from essential historic works by Charles M. Russell and Frederick Remington to a new acquisition of last-century Native American photography

by Edward S. Curtis. Near by is the Kimbell Art Museum still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America” including its new Renzo Piano Pavilion addition. The neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a work-of-art 2002 building designed by world-renowned Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions, concert attractions and, every weekend, leading-edge independent-studio films.

The Museum of Science & History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has been designed by similarly renowned architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the Museum of Science & History, one finds vast galleries of Texas-bred dinosaur specimens and the state’s oil-and-gas heritage, in addition to the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and a new digital Noble Planetarium. The Omni Theater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links with the Museum of Science & History and boasts a new digital sound system and enhanced lighting.The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is next door to the FMS&H. The NCM&HF honors women of the American West from those who have lived and worked on ranches

or who led an expedition, or sat before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s eye, or sat on the Supreme Court.

When the museum meanderings trigger an appetite for fine dining, two long-established, museum-based cafés stand ready to serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers indoor or patio lunch and a light evening menu within one of the most beautiful modern buildings in America. The Modern Art Museum’s 250-seat Café Modern, with an outdoor terrace, overlooks a serene reflecting pond. The Modern’s full-service kitchen delivers superb cuisine for lunch, Sunday brunch, and scheduled seasonal dinners.

The Great Outdoors offers breakfast subs, lunch and dinner subs, soups, salads and all natural ice cream. Off University on White Settlement Road, a Texas barbecue tradition reigns at Angelo’s, offering a half-century of first-class BBQ and ultra-chilled beer.

The Fort Worth Community Art Center, at the district’s western edge, showcases work by the city’s homegrown community of artists, in addition to live-theater venues.

Neighboring the museum community is the city’s landmark Will Rogers Memorial Center, a versatile 85-acre entertainment complex — with 45 acres housing the Will Rogers Coliseum & Auditorium. Its majestic Pioneer Tower dates from the Texas Centennial Celebration of 1936. Still the most imposing site within the district, the coliseum holds pride of place as the first domed structure of its kind in the world. The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Showplaces of Heritage and Artistry and Nature Shoppers can find a broad selection of merchandise in the Cultural District’s specialty shops. European antiques and upholstery can be found at Domain XCIV and the dh collection boasts progressive furniture designs in an appetite-whetting environment.

can experience the glories of nature at Trinity Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers, and strollers can explore meandering pathways or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden beckons — the oldest such site in Texas, a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color. The Garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens. The European-designed Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses,and the 10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world. An on-site Gardens Restaurant serves light lunches and refreshments — with a view of the Garden and a varied gallery that often displays the work of local artists. Adjacent to the Botanic Garden is the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) whose mission is to “reduce its footprint on the natural world as well as protect and restore ecosystem services.” BRIT’s building was designed as an example of how much of this can be accomplished.

A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of animals, both native and exotic.

Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for optimal views of the animals, often separated from their observers by only a river, a waterfall, or a large window.

Shaded rest spots and picnic tables are available, with several on-site eateries.

Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village offers another view of the city’s rich frontier history boasting seven authentic log homes, dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside each cabin offering a living history of the home and its origin.

The mood to explore might be triggered by art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these interests and then some!

Offering a unique holiday shopping experience, guests can select handmade goods, décor and ornaments that cannot be found anywhere else besides the market plus it is the only place to purchase exclusive Käthe Wohlfahrt merchandise in the Southwest. Many vendors also demonstrate at the market how their handicrafts are made which can be purchased directly from the hut. And with aromas of roasting nuts, sizzling brats, and freshly made funnel cakes filling the air, guests can enjoy the authentic flavors of a Christkindl market while watching vendors prepare potato pancakes in an open-air skillet, sipping gluhwein, and trying more sweets throughout the market.

Produced by the Arlington Convention & Visitors Bureau in partnership with the Arlington Chamber Foundation and the City of Arlington, the Texas Rangers and Six Flags Over Texas along with support from the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation, the Texas Christkindl Market is a magical tradition for everyone to enjoy year after year in Arlington, Texas.
