Wild Cards are the events you won't find on the usual lists. We dig deep through the internet, past buried Facebook posts, small-business pages, and word of mouth, to find the one-of-a-kind outings most people don't hear about until they're over.
Deer season opens Saturday, Nov 7, and half of Southeast Texas will be in a stand before sunrise. If you're not one of them, this weekend still has plenty going on. We picked a good mix whether you're single, out with the girls, or spending time with the family: a hometown parade and street dance, a book signing, a girls' brunch, a date night at the museum, and a movie under the stars.
