Now, About the Getting …

Welman has a shop that is open to the public and fully stocked with discount arts and crafts supplies, handmade items by local reuse artists, vintage books, and more.

NOVEMBER 24-30, 2021

Long before American Express made Small Business Saturday an official part of our annual holiday shopping traditions in 2010, Fort Worth Weekly-ians were already supporting local, independent businesses. Making it official just meant that soccer moms would be joining the fun. So much the better. Their money is just as green!

As small businesses go, you can’t get much better than Doc’s Records & Vintage (2628 Weisenberger St, 817-7325455) in the Foundry District. Almost every September, they win the critic’s choice, readers’ choice, or both for Best Record Store or Best Place to Buy Antiques. The readers are rarely wrong.

The critics? Well, that’s a story for another time. From noon to 4pm Sat, check things out for yourself. Stop by for Doc’s Local Music Showcase & Vintage Flea Market, with Digimechanoid, Pollen, Yaz Mean, and Kitbashes.

Along with the general assortment of hard-to-find vinyl and vintage items normally in stock, vintage dealers will also have booths set up in the courtyard.

There will be complimentary beer and musical performances to entertain you while you shop.

Not far from the Foundry District is a dining-shopping-hanging-out oasis known as Race Street chock-full of independent businesses. Once a month, the street is blocked off for pop-up events.

For November, the date uncoincidentally coincides with Small Business Saturday.

From 4pm to 9pm, Creatively Beaut Goods (2900 Race St, Ste 164, @ CreativelyBeautGoodsCBG) — a boutique that sells “modern boho”-styled accessories, handmade jewelry, hats, and vintage clothing — is hosting its CBG Outdoor Market. Along with its own items, CBG will have a selection of goods from local artisans and vendors. There will be music by DJ Bilal, and when you get hungry, wander over to La Onda (2905 Race St, 817-607-8605) or Tributary Cafe (2813 Race St, 817-832-0823), which are right across the street.

Local nonprofit the Welman Project is a great place for giving and getting, too.

Wellman specializes in helping teachers by connecting them with donated office

Higher Purpose Emporium (505 W Northside Dr, 682-207-5351) — Best Saturday Of 2021 winner for Best Metaphysical Shop — is celebrating Small Business Saturday in a unique way.

Every Thanksgiving, I watch The Waltz, the 1978 Scorsese-directed film of Wednesday The Band’s final concert that was filmed over, you know, Thanksgiving. As an Arlington resident, I may break that tradition and instead head to Tanstaafl Pub in Pantego (409 N Bowen Rd, 817-460-9506) to watch local musicians cover the material live at 9pm. The pub’s free There’s No Such Thing as a Last Waltz event has been going on annually for nine years now, so I think it’s time I showed up.

After your turkey dinner, grab your drumsticks — the inedible kind — and Thursday head to Lola’s Trailer Park (2735 W 5th St, 817-7599100) for the Thanksgiving edition of its weekly blues jam with Playtown and special guest Jerry Clark. The event starts at 7pm, and there’s no cover. Musicians just sign up to play upon arrival, and when it’s their turn to jam, they hit the glorious outdoor stage and do their thing. Delicias De Guerro Food Truck will be serving up nachos, quesadillas, tacos, and tortas when you’re hungry again but done talking turkey.
