Now that you’ve met the female movers and shakers of the community, we’ll introduce you to some influential men in this month’s feature. Learn about what makes them unique and how they’re impacting the community. If you haven’t already, you’ll probably run into one—or several—of them out on the town!

Preparing for a night out with the guys? We’ll show you the perfect places in the community to grab a drink, watch the big game or just catch up with pals. If you’d rather stay in, we provide you the perfect recipe to whip up. It’s guaranteed to

AROUND TOWN On March 29, grandparents arrived that morning for breakfast and then an onstage performance, “Royal Celebration,” that featured their grandchildren from preschool to fifth grade in their costumes singing, acting and playing in the band.

Afterward, grandparents visited their grandchildren’s classrooms to see what their grandchildren have learned this school year. Many children made special cards and works of art for their grandparents as well.

For weeks, students rehearsed “royal” songs and skits to honor their special guests.

(CON TI N U ED)

STATE DRAFT HOUSE 1050 Flower Mound Road #280, Flower Mound, TX 75028 State Draft House features beers of all kinds, including lagers, porters, stouts, pales, ambers and much more. All of the beer, wine, distilled spirits, hard ciders and craft sodas served are made in Texas.

“This is where guys go to escape the day or celebrate the weekend, or just step back from the stress of life for a few hours to enjoy the simple things like good friends and good beer," owner Andrew Hendrikson says.

02.

WHAT’S ON TAP 2570 FM407 #170, Highland Village, TX 75077 What’s On Tap offers 40 taps in a relaxed, neighborhood atmosphere.

“We are not a huge, noisy sports bar,” owner Brad Trapnell says. “We are kind of like the neighborhood 'Cheers.' People tend to know your name here. It’s a really comfortable atmosphere.”

State Draft House

RESTAURANT ROUND UP

Brad says What’s On Tap specializes in craft beers, ciders, mead (a honey-based wine), nonalcoholic root beer and four wines on tap.
