New Dad in Town: A Personal Story of Love, Loss, and Hope

Ryan: My wife, Michelle, and I had been married for about a year. We were still living in a 1-bedroom apartment in downtown Atlanta when we found out that we were expecting a child. We realized that we needed to make some life decisions quickly so that we would be ready when our child arrived. At the time, I was extremely burned out in my position with the government. I had been reading books for over a year on franchising and small business. After talking with my wife, I decided to reach out to FranNet to explore franchise opportunities.

TVLine reports that actor Will Chase has been added to the cast as Neil Mayfield, who's the patriarch of a new family in town. Though it's not confirmed just which family he'll be the father of, sensible speculation presumes he might have something to do with the incoming brother and sister duo, played by Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery.

Known as the "Cowboy Capital of the World," Bandera hosts a three-day Cowboy Mardi Gras that attracts over 15 thousand people from all over the world to the town of 839 residents. Featuring traditional cajun bands, country music, a Cowboy Mardi Gras parade, costume contests, gumbo cook-off, and more, the 2023 iteration takes place from February 9 to 11.

With a 20,000 square foot bar and 70-foot stage, the bar is one of the largest music venues in the Texas Hill Country, housed in a historic wood-framed building with a porch out front and expansive outdoor venue area out back. James McGroarty acquired the bar in 2006, transforming it into the destination it is today and elevating the town's annual Cowboy Mardi Gras Parade to the party it is today.

"We are so honored to take on the tradition of the 18th Annual Cowboy Mardi Gras Parade," says Richard Sutton in a release. "Bandera is a remarkable town that knows how to throw one hell of a party and we're looking to carry on that tradition." 2ff7e9595c
