Wednesday 20 – Weather permitting, tonight you can join the Full Moon Paddle at the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge, as the expedition tries to attract the owls that frequent our area during the season. These include great horned owls, barred owls, and Eastern screech owls, which are hard to see because of their camouflage but have a distinctive call. The event is at 7pm at the back gate of the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge, 8670 Shoreline Dr, FW. Registration is $15-20. Call 817-392-7410.

Thursday 21 – Apex Arts League presents a free music event this evening, as the chamber group Unity Through Music performs everything from the first movement of Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony to the theme music from Game of Thrones, at 7pm at The Marq, 285 Shady Oaks Dr, Southlake. Admission is free. Call 682-661-5026.

Friday 22 – A whole steer roast is the unusual tactic that Ablaze: Igniting Passion for a Cure is taking to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. For a donation, you can come to this event for drinks, live music, dancing, and even prepping the steer the night before. Merely rigging up a spit to turn and roast a 900-pound animal for 24 hours is a feat of engineering. You can see that and more at 6:30pm at Firestone & Robertson Distilling Co., 4250 Mitchell Blvd, FW. Tickets are $350. Call 817-402-0918.
