“Huge shoutout to Terry Gillespie at The Lone Star Float House—he found a lost wallet and returned it with everything inside, including the cash, which speaks volumes about his honesty and integrity. Be sure to go check out Lone Star Float House—The burgers were awesome and we had an absolute blast in the water, and thanks to Terry, a lost wallet didn’t spoil our fun at all. Great place, even better people!“
