If drafting up a list of things that feel lucky, you’d have to include the following: A day off from the rat race. Getting to choose from a wide variety of awesome food that comes from a festival of mobilerants (aka food trucks). Bounce houses and pony rides, hello. All of this stuff is four-leaf clover good, and is readily available at Monday’s Memorial Day at Lone Star Park event. (Here’s hoping we just reminded you about your day off, Lucky.) The Grand Prairie destination is also offering a way to feel like a million bucks ... literally. You could actually feel like a million bucks if you win the WinStar World Casino “Win a Million” promotion. Gates open at 11:30 a.m. and the first race starts at 1:35 p.m. Lone Star Park is located at 1000 Lone Star Parkway, in Grand Prairie. General admission is $5. Visit lonestarpark.com.
