The launch of Sundays in the Park at Lake Highlands Town Center is this Sunday. The Lupners, Lake Highlands High School Wranglers, Atomic Pie and LH Creamery will all be on hand to entertain and feed us from 4-6 p.m. It’s a production of the Lake Highlands PID, Dallas City Council District 10’s Adam McGough, Lake Highlands Chamber’s Ted and Carrie Hill, Speck Communications and other partners. The festivities follow the opening of the center’s first retailer, Artistik Edge Hair Salon, which held its groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday.
Saturday’s Forest-Audelia Community Unity Festival is 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at Forest-Audelia, in the Aldi parking lot.
