Stories in Motion: Chapter 2 Fort Worth
About this Event
Weβre thrilled to officially partner with TRE (Trinity Railway Express) for Chapter 2 of our Stories in Motion series, hosted by The Gathered Pages Society! ππ
This exciting collaboration lets us take our love of π books on the rails while exploring new places, supporting public transit, and creating unforgettable themed day trips with our community. Join us for a bookish adventure to Fort Worth as we celebrate American Cowboy Day with coffee, culture, cowboy-core fun, and a literary twist.
π Bonus: Thereβll be special prizes for those who ace our bookish trivia on the ride there!
