Here’s what is happening in the H-E-B area
Cool off at ice cream social at Old Bedford School
Is there a better way to be the heat other than enjoying a scoop or two of ice cream?
We don’t think so.
So head over to the Old Bedford School for an new version of an old-school event: an ice cream social.
The free event, featuring ice cream, live music and tours, is from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the 101-year-old school, 2400 School Lane.
Adopt a pet at shelters in Euless and Hurst

Euless’ event is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Euless Animal Shelter, 1517 Westpark Way.
A reminder of roadwork zones along Airport Freeway
There’s not much new this week along Airport Freeway (Texas 183) as part of the Midtown Express reconstruction project, but here are a few reminders:
- The Main Street bridge remains closed and detours in are place for the next several months.
- Traffic on the westbound Texas 183 frontage road near American Boulevard is reduced to one lane for an extended period of time.
- Huffman Road is closed at the eastbound 183 frontage road.
- The frontage road U-turn at Industrial Boulevard from westbound 183 to eastbound 183 is closed.
- Himes Street at the westbound 183 frontage road is closed through July 25.
The Midtown Express project along 183, from Euless to Interstate 35E in Dallas, includes rebuilding main lanes, improving ramps and access roads, and adding one toll lane in each direction. The project is an extension of the $2.5 billion North Tarrant Express in neighboring Bedford and Hurst.
