Bumstead and Drez, both mothers of young children, noticed that their city was lacking a book that acknowledged all of the amazing cultural institutions, places, and teams that make Fort Worth so unique.
"Growing up in Fort Worth, I always had a deep respect for how much this city has to offer," said Drez. "Robin and I thought that by compiling these remarkable gems into an easy-to-read book, it would allow those who are both familiar and unfamiliar with the city to learn about all those fun Fort Worth tidbits."
Perhaps the best thing about Cowtown is the people. “The most amazing part of this project is how helpful and enthusiastic everyone has been during our journey,” said Bumstead. "Fort Worth is such a treasure, and we are so proud to call it home."
