Trick Rider, the acclaimed fine-dining destination located inside Omni PGA Frisco Resort, has been known since its opening as one of the region’s finest destinations for perfectly prepared steaks and chops. The beautifully designed restaurant is resplendent with Texas style, and it offers diners a warmth and approachability of service that is rooted in Texas hospitality. This elegant eatery also has a renowned seafood program.

 

In celebration of National Oyster Week, Trick Rider will be offering an array of exceptional bivalves specially priced for guests. During this special week, the following oyster varieties will be available by the dozen for $24, served with a house-made hibiscus mignonette.

  • BEAU SOLEIL from Miramichi Bay, New Brunswick – These Canadian oysters are notable for their intense briny flavor with a delicately sweet finish.
  • WELLFLEET from Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts – With flavors entrenched in the Cape, these oysters have a sweet flavor and a crisp, clean finish.
  • FOXLEY RIVER from Cascumpec Bay, Prince Edward Island – These meatier oysters are not often found in North Texas and are known for their balance of ocean and sweet flavors.
  • PEMAQUID from Damariscotta River, Maine – These oysters feature firm meat, which is mildly sweet with a clean, lemon zest flavor.

 

Trick Rider always features both broiled and raw oysters. These special oysters would be perfect to pair with the restaurant’s other seafood specialties, including tuna tartare, whole branzino and more.

House cocktails, like the popular Champagne Bubble Bath, would pair perfectly. This tasty tipple includes Grey Goose Essences strawberry & lemongrass, Monin strawberry rose, and fresh lemon topped with Delamotte Champagne.

On Saturday, May 18, 2024, the community gathered at Riders Field in Frisco for the largest fundraising event of the year for NAMI North Texas, NAMIWalks 2024. This year’s theme, “I AM NAMIWALKS,” perfectly encapsulated the spirit of the event, which raised over $125,000 with 800 people attending in person and more than 1,200 total registrants.

The day was filled with fun and uplifting activities, including a resource fair, free Kona Ice for kids, a “Why I Walk” story station, and various activities for children. The pet-friendly event also welcomed lots of wagging tails, adding to the atmosphere. Walkers who raised $100 or more were rewarded with a NAMIWalks North Texas event t-shirt and other recognition gifts.

This event was made possible by the generous support of several sponsors, including Denny’s, Texas Health Behavioral Health, Julie and Pierce Noble, Pillar Clinical Research, Carrollton Springs/Well Bridge Health Care/Collin Springs, Medical City Green Oaks Hospital/Medical City Behavioral Health McKinney, Medical City Mental Health & Wellness Center/Frisco, Teva, West Coast University, Connections Wellness Group, Neurocrine Biosciences, and NBC 5 / Telemundo 39. NAMI North Texas was honored to have Brittney Johnson, the Emmy Award-winning co-anchor of NBC 5 News at 10 p.m., serve as the honorary chair for this year’s NAMIWalks North Texas.

“This year’s NAMIWalks North Texas was truly a remarkable event,” said Kasey Smith, Interim Executive Director of NAMI North Texas. “We are incredibly grateful to our supporters, sponsors, staff, and volunteers who made this day possible. Your dedication and enthusiasm help us raise awareness, stop the stigma surrounding mental health, and celebrate the journey of mental health recovery. Together, we are building a community of hope and resilience.”

NAMIWalks North Texas not only raises vital funds but also celebrates mental health recovery, honors those who have lost their lives to mental health conditions, and raises awareness to stop the stigma surrounding mental health.

Founded in 1982, NAMI North Texas, a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible nonprofit organization, advocates for equitable access to mental health services, treatment, supports and research and is steadfast in its commitment to raise awareness and build a community of hope for all of those in need. Serving Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Rockwall counties, NAMI North Texas provides essential and free education, advocacy and support group programs. For more information, visit www.naminorthtexas.org.
