When you typically think of the Jonas Brothers, you might
think of three teenage boys running from rampant fans. That's a fair thought,
but it in this instance, they are running for something much more important.
The Special Olympics Texas has joined up with Jonas Brothers for a Change for the
Children Foundation to create the iWin Joe Jonas Fun Run on August 13th, held at the historic Sunset Station, the venue for all of the festivities.
The event combines both organizations’ aims to raise money for kids facing
adversity with intellectual disabilities here in Texas. Entry fees are $20 a
person or $35 dollars for a child and parent entry. Along with the fun run,
there are opportunities to win concert tickets to the Jonas Brothers’ concert
later on that night, and even a chance to meet and run with Joe Jonas at the front
of the race. The morning will also be
capped off with a concert from the up-and-coming band The Honor Society. If
you’d like to work your heart out, in more ways than one, the iWin Joe Jonas
Fun Run is a wonderful way to do it. You can find more details at sotx.org or at sunset-station.com

Sometimes it's difficult to wonder whether any given summer
day in San Antonio
could get any hotter. Well, here's a warning: one of the hotter days this city
has to offer is coming up, although not hot in ways one might imagine. Salsa Fest will be taking place at Hemisfair Park, with KC & the Sunshine Band playing
at the end of the event. (As for the
temperatures, there’s not much to worry about: according to the weather
forecasts, it’s actually the coolest day of the week.)
Local restaurants will
be competing for the best salsa award, and there will be two categories: the
People’s Choice (judged by event attendees) and the Overall Best Salsa (judged
by a selected panel). The event will
offer free sampling to the audience between the hours of 4 to 6 p.m. Some of the Salsa Fest participants include
Sazos Latin Grill, Maddogs, Tomatillos, La Fogata, Aldacos, and Cachito de
Mexico. In addition to live music, there will be a variety of food
and merchandise vendors feeding the crowds.
Local groups Nef Solo Project and Bliss will be playing for audiences
throughout the day, with KC and the Sunshine Band ending finishing off the
spicy evening. With such delicious salsas to sample throughout the day, odds
are that KC & the Sunshine Band will be playing "That’s the Way I Like It”
by the end of their set. Start planning
your spicy Sunday by buying tickets ahead of time at www.sanantoniosalsafest.com.
