Climb the walls at Houston's biggest indoor rock climbing recreation gym, at the Texas Rock Gym. Group and private lessons are available to get you up to speed.

Make room in your kitchen cabinet and have cold water ready as you boldly go where many have dared to trod to the Texas Hot Sauce Festival held at the Bayou City Event Center. Hot sauces, salsas, peppers and spices, marinades and rubs, jams/jelly, soup and chili mixes, wing sauces, garlicky, sweet, fruity, peppery, smokey, all things hot and mild are waiting.    There are hundreds of hot and spicy products to try out from around the country along with plenty of food and cold beverages, ongoing stage entertainment, a "chile-dren" area, retail vendors, arts & crafts, and pepper merchandise. You can enter the Pickle Eating Contest, take part in free give-a-ways from the stage and have free face painting fun. Plenty of cold water, too!

Enjoy a great meal seven days a week at Saint Arnold Brewing Company's Beer Garden & Restaurant. When you're done, take a tasting tour of Texas' oldest craft brewery. Their small crew does everything at the brewery: brew the beer, filter the beer, keg the beer, bottle the beer, sell the beer and drink the beer. For them, that is a passion, not a job, and they believe that it shows through in the beers they make, because their beers have soul.
