We want to know: What's your favorite entertainment venue in Katy?

We all know that Katy has become Houston's unofficial "fun" suburb. Every time I turn around there's a new entertainment venue popping up.

We've got the largest water park in the Houston area, Popstroke, Home Run Dugout and dozens of smaller, but no less entertaining venues.

I thought it might be fun to put together a collection of your stories about your favorite entertainment spots. Not just what they are, but what you like most about them. Once I have your submissions rounded up, I'll write a story with your responses.

Submit your suggestions here.

Have a great week!
