It’s the first weekend back for most TCU students and there are plenty of things to do. We started a weekly list of events and activities for anyone in Fort Worth to do this summer and plan to keep it going all year. Here’s what’s happening this weekend:

The event begins at 11 a.m. with a $2 admission fee. Several local press comic artists, writers and publishers will also be in attendance at the event that will take place at the Radisson Hotel at Fossil Creek.
