Some stores take a beautiful grill

And hide it away from the rest of the world

We want to be the one to grill in the sun (with a tent!)

Ohhhhhhh grills they want to have fun

Ohhhhh grills just want to have…

FUN! We're in the middle of prime grilling season, and we'd love to pay homage to a delicious way of cooking. We'll be hosting a weekend-long event called Grills Just Want to Have Fun that will take place at every Houston area, Katy, and Sugar Land store from 12-5 PM May 17th-19th.

Woodway is kicking off the weekend on Friday, May 17th from 12-5 PM with an outdoor grilling fest. On Friday, we're featuring "What's Hot!" which means that you'll get to try new items, favorite sale items, or products featured in our Whole Deal magazine. We'll have seafood focused grilling from 12-3 PM and meat focused grilling from 3-5 PM. You never know what you'll learn to love, so stop by and meet some lovely grills! 

Day 2 of Grills Just Want to Have Fun honors a kid-favorite: the hot dog! We're hosting our annual Woodway hot dog contest on Saturday, May 18th from 12-3 PM, and we want YOU there! Each department develops their own recipe for a winning hot dog, and then you get to be the judge! Last year, the contest was rained out, but this year, we are optimistic about sunshine. Who will take home the trophy this time? 

Afterwards, from 3-5 PM, we'll be hosting a slew of demos designed for your summer picnic, so bring your basket! 

The final day of Grills Just Want to Have Fun is all about Southern pride. Let's enjoy the delicious recipes that come out of the South, like barbecue, cornbread, collard greens, and more. Who knows what our teams will have in store for you, but you'll be glad to enjoy some Southern Comfort Food! 

We'll have meat-focused grilling from 12-3 PM and seafood-focused grilling from 3-5 PM. Don't miss out! Our friends from Teas of Texas will be on hand with Texas trivia and free tea giveaways, too! 

Shop at our Woodway store on Wednesday, May 22, and support the Houston Center for Photography. We will be donating 5% of our net profits for the day to this fantastic community arts organization. 

HCP strives to encourage artists, build audiences, stimulate dialogue and promote inquiry about photography and related media through education, exhibitions, publications, fellowship programs and community collaboration. You can learn more about the Houston Center for Photography here.

Have you tried chair yoga before? Chair yoga provides many of the same benefits as traditional yoga - it helps improve flexibility and breathing, as well as posture. If you haven't tried it before, Whole Foods Market Woodway will be hosting a small class on Saturday, May 25th from 9:00-9:45 AM. The class will be hosted by Kat Axmann (http://katsyogalab.com/), whom you may have met at our April juicing event.

This complimentary class is limited to 10 people. Email woodwayevents@wholefoods.com to sign up. 

More about chair yoga: It is a unique yoga style that adapts yoga positions and poses through creative use of a yoga chair. The chair replaces the yoga mat and becomes an extension of the body. The student is able to warm up the body safely and perform yoga poses with more support and stability. Poses are done seated on the chair or the chair is used for support during standing poses, forward and backward bends, side extensions, balancing, and leg and arm stretches. Chair Yoga is suitable for all ages, fitness levels and physical conditions.

Summer may not officially be here, but the sun is out and summer beers have arrived! Our Specialty department team members will be sampling out their favorites, along with plenty of cheeses, crackers, nuts, and other snacks. Stop by to get some ideas for your next summer picnic or gathering!
