Grapevine is literally right next to DFW International Airport.
By car. Dallas/Fort Worth have a pathetic public transportation system right now, so if you don';t have a friend there to drive you around, you'd be best off renting a car. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Whee-e-e-e--do they look like
they're having fun! by VeronicaG
The entire main street was blocked off to create a pedestrian mall which was packed with booths offering hot dogs, ice cream, funnel cakes, Icees, Kettle Corn, bbq's and other tasty snacks. Artisans were eager to sell their hand painted leather belts, goat's milk soap, pottery,sterling silver jewelry, watercolors, photography and many, many other creations.
A special area for children provided games, rock climbing wall, bouncing attractions and a petting zoo. The accompanying photo shows just how much fun these kids had---WOW! A gunfight even broke out at different times during the event and a Clydesdale horse was on hand to meet the children. Some folks were even brave enough to try the bunjee jump!
Festival admission fee was $6 for adults; $3 for seniors and free for kids 5 & under.
During festival days, special priced tickets for the Grapevine Vintage Railroad can be purchased . Address: Grapevine, TexasPhone: 817-410-3185Directions: Located about 15-18 miles from Dallas, TexasWebsite: www.grapevinetexasusa.com

 The Calaboose of
Grapevine,Tx. by VeronicaG
This was the town's first jail authorized by the Grapevine City Council in 1909. Although its location has been moved twice, it settled here in 1994 to mark an era of the town's history!
During Main Street Days, it was a thing of wonder for children to explore on a hot, sticky day. The small patch of shade provided by its interior gave them a respite from the sun and an opportunity to play a realistic game of cops and robbers! Address: Corner of Franklin and Main Streets,Grapevine,TX

 Torian Log Cabin by VeronicaG
As people milled about during Main Street Days, the log cabin was a popular attraction and folks of all ages found the old dwelling worthy of investigating. It wasn't difficult imagining what life would be like in this type of homestead. One's very existence would depend on the protection these long, sturdy logs afforded them, for the Western frontier could be harsh and unforgiving. Address: 201 S. Main Street, Liberty Park, Grapevine,Tx
