Hello, hello. Nicole Fallon-Peek here with your fresh copy of the Dallas Daily, full of all the community information you need to know right now. Here goes.
First, today's weather:
A couple of thunderstorms. High: 85 Low: 69.
📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Dallas who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.
I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Dallas Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.
Here are the top three stories in Dallas today:
- Season passes for the 2022 State Fair of Texas are officially available for purchase. Each season pass includes access to the fair's entire runtime, one free midway game, a reusable tote bag, a single bring-a-friend ticket, and more. Click for a season pass discount. The fair will run from Sep. 30 through Oct. 23. (CW33 Dallas)
- A Dallas man has been exonerated after serving 23 years in prison and 40 years on sex-offender parole. Mallory Vernon Nicholson, 75, was wrongly convicted in 1982 on two charges of sexual abuse of a child and one count of burglary. Nicholson was exonerated after newly-discovered evidence was withheld during the original trial. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
- Dallas children will have access to healthy no-cost summer meals this summer through the Summer Food Service Program. The Dallas Independent School District will be distributing meals to Dallas children that meet or exceed the USDA health requirement.

From our sponsor:
Are you a Dallas resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?
Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.
Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.
Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:
- Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
- Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
- Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Dallas Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
