Aside from salgar, Galentine's Day may be one of Leslie Knope’s greatest inventions. What began in an episode of NBC's "Parks and Recreation" as a day dedicated to recognizing a lady’s platonic female friends has been adopted across the nation as a pseudo-holiday celebrated on Feb. 13 – the eve of Valentine’s Day.
From brunches to board painting and everything in between, here are seven ways to celebrate Galentine's Day in and around Fort Worth.
