Here are the top three stories today in McKinney-Frisco:

1. The Texas Pinball Festival will finally return to Frisco for the first time since COVID began this weekend. The event will include over 400 pinball machines along with other classic arcade games, which organizers will set to free play. The festivities will take place at the Embassy Suites in Frisco. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
2. Frisco has welcomed North Texas' first-ever pet restaurant and bar, The Pawtio. The establishment officially opened earlier this month and serves human-grade ingredients made into full-course meals for pets that include appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Although they only serve food to animals, The Pawtio has a beer garden complete with local brews, custom cocktails, and kombucha for people to enjoy. (Texas is Life)
3. Keller Milestone Church is opening its doors for Easter Services. The McKinney Campus will host four identical services in order to make the celebration available for all, even those who are only able to join virtually. The service will also include opportunities for viewers to text in prayer requests and other needs during the service. (Digital Journal)
