Yogolait. Frozen Yogurt.

I have a suggestion the next time you go out for dinner: go to Yogolait for a frozen yogurt dessert. I did last night and boydaddy it is good. The store is in a small shopping center south of Central Market, a couple stores from Starbucks.

The Yogolait concept is self-serve for both the frozen yogurt and the toppings. Yogolait provides paper cups and the customer chooses from a selection of 8 or so flavors and does the dispensing himself. Same with the toppings.

Our favorite: the classic tart frozen yogurt with toppings of assorted berries and nuts, and maybe a little chocolate. (We were daily visitors to a very similar store in Philadelphia)

Pay by the ounce. A small serving costs about $3 - 4.

It is so good it is scary.

Candlelighters Run, 2009.

My favorite 5k run in Fort Worth is the Candlelighter's Run & Walk. Here's why:

1. The "nightrun" itself is different and enjoyable.
2. Great food and refreshments. Not every 5k provides as much.
3. Music and festive atmosphere after the race.
4. Downtown Fort Worth as the start and finish points.

Put all of these together and everyone gets a very enjoyable event. More importantly, the Candlelighter's Run & Walk supports an agency that works with children cancer patients and their families. There are 120 cases of childhood cancer each year in Tarrant County and the Childhood Cancer Foundation of Fort Worth has been assisting the patients and their families since 1992.

Following is a summary of event details, and, by the way, I will be there, running in slow motion.
  • Cost: $20
  • Date: October 10, 2009
  • Time: 5k Run start time is 8:30 p.m.
  • Event begins at 6 pm.
