If you've been watching every episode of the Real Housewives of Dallas home alone in your pajamas, you now have an opportunity to do up the season finale in RHOD style at a watch party that's being hosted by star Brandi Redmond.

The party takes place on June 13 in Plano, of course, at the newly renovated Studio Movie Grill. The former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and reality TV star will meet and greet fans, hold Q&A sessions during commercials, and share her thoughts about the show throughout the evening.

The party includes passed appetizers and one passed drink prior to the show. Hnh, a "passed drink," what is that? The party is at 8 pm, but once the show begins at 9 pm, attendees can order from Studio Movie Grill's food and beverage menu; 100 percent of ticket sales will be donated to City House in Plano.

Redmond, who's a Plano resident, wife, and mom, claims to be a big fan of Studio Movie Grill.

"This season was such an amazing experience, and I’m looking forward to sharing some behind-the-scenes stories with our fans on Monday evening, while supporting such a wonderful Plano nonprofit," she says in a release.

This Studio Movie Grill location in Plano, at 4721 W. Park Blvd., recently reopened after a makeover. The 12-screen theater complex features state-of-the-art sight and sound technologies. Moviegoers can relax in one of the 1,122 luxury custom-made leather lounge seats; choose from an array of healthy and indulgent menu items; and order their favorite beer, wine, or cocktail from the full-service bar while taking in the latest Hollywood releases.

Tickets are $25 and may be purchased online.

Fans of IndyCar racing can meet one of the stars of the circuit ahead of this weekend's big Java House Grand Prix of Arlington: Pato O’Ward will make a pit stop at a Dallas-area Walmart for an exclusive fan meet-and-greet a few days ahead of the race.

According to a release, O'Ward will appear at Walmart Supercenter at 200 US Highway 80 E., in Mesquite, at 1 pm Wednesday, March 11.

"Fresh off a career-best 2nd place finish in the 2025 Championship, O’Ward will be available for photos, autographs, and a look at how he fuels his race-day focus with Electrolit, his official hydration partner (also Grand Prix of Arlington hydration partner)," the announcement says.

Get there early and line up for these reasons:

The first 100 guests in line to meet Pato will receive a custom cowboy hat.
Grab a photo, snag an autograph, and rehydrate with a refreshing Electrolit. ("See how the driver of the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet stays sharp for 200mph battles.")
Hear firsthand from the man who recently threw the first pitch at a Texas Rangers game to celebrate this landmark race.

The meet-and-greet is free to attend, and reservations are not required.

O'Ward was born in Monterrey, Mexico and went to high school in San Antonio. He honed his legendary "edge-of-your-seat" driving style on Texas tracks and returns to DFW for the first-ever Grand Prix event in Arlington.

The Java House Grand Prix of Arlington, running March 13-15, will feature a 2.73-mile track layout that will weave through Arlington’s sports and entertainment district, which includes both AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, the home bases of the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers, as well as Choctaw Stadium, the Arlington Convention Center, and more.

The event in Arlington marks a return to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the NTT IndyCar Series after Texas Motor Speedway - which hosted a race every year between 1997 and 2023 - was dropped in 2024. Tickets are available here.

Many local businesses and restaurants are hosting related events and viewing parties, as well.
