Feeling superstitious? We’ve rounded up a checklist of local activities on Friday the 13th (commonly known as the most unlucky day of the year). Do one or all of them — just don’t attempt them under a ladder.
Adopt a black cat.
Did you know that black cats are the least likely to be adopted? You can do your part to fix that stat by stopping by a Fort Worth Animal Care & Control adoption center and making a new furr-ever friend.
Find a good luck charm.
Might we suggest stopping by Enchanted Forest Metaphysical Shoppe or Earthly Relics to peruse the collection of pendants and crystals?
Get a baker’s dozen.
Make the most out of an unlucky day by treating yourself (and the office) to a baker’s dozen donuts from FunkyTown Donuts and Drafts or 13 gluten-free cupcakes from Unrefined Bakery.
You might need more than 13 with these scrumptious fall flavors.

Take part in a superstition.
Cowboys and rodeo athletes are superstitious folks — especially when it comes to their hats. Check out the no-no’s of cowboy hat etiquette.
