 Hello and welcome to the Fort Report, I'm Chris Connolly and I'm Alicia Woodruff. College football season is here and that means it's time to show your purple pride. Fridays before TCU home football games will again be Go Purple Fridays in Fort Worth. City staff will be sporting prominent purple to show their support for the horned frogs. I expect y'all to do the same. To help celebrate the opening of the season, the Avenue of Light on Lancaster Avenue will go purple along with many of our downtown buildings. It's going to be beautiful. It's time to practice your overhand serve because Adult Volleyball Registration opens up on September 19th at 7 a.m. I worked on my game all summer. Here's a clip. Oh, Iceman, will you ever learn? Visit the city's website and get signed up. Okay, are you ready for some fall family fun in the Fort Worth Stockyards? There's some crazy animal activity happening Saturday, September 17th at Stockyard Station. It's called Animals Alive. Those aren't stuffed animals, they are alive. The event is free and you'll learn about and pet some unique Texas animals, ride a pony and see the only twice daily cattle drive in the world. For more information go to www.stockyardstation.com Celebrating our heritage is so important to who we are as a city. After all, this country was founded by immigrants. Fort Worth is an amazing melting pot of diversity and that's what makes us special. Are you proud of your heritage, Chris? Yes, I wish on my father's side and Jedi on my mother's side. Fort Worth City Employees' 10th Annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration will be 11 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. September 16th outside of City Hall. Singers, dancers and food vendors, Chris, will be celebrating on 10th Street all morning long. Fort Worth PD will provide identification kits for children too. For more information call 817-480-3398.
