Daytrippin' in McKinney
Fans of the TV show, The Daytripper, know Chet Garner well. McKinney was thrilled to host him and his crew for a couple of days in February 2020. They were here filming all their fun antics for the McKinney episode, now airing as part of Season 11, on Texas PBS stations. It began airing across the Lone Star State over Memorial Day Weekend. It is set to air on KERA in the Dallas area on Saturday, June 20, at 10 a.m.
We wanted to give you a peek into some of the behind-the-scenes looks at Chet, things that didn’t make the cut on the show. If you missed it or it isn’t airing in your area, the full episode is available on Chet’s website when you become part of Team Daytripper.
