Every place has a vibe...a feeling you get when you are there. At the Wayback Barn we hope you feel the joy of country life while making memories with your people. Our property sits atop the highest point in the area, with beautiful views of the countryside. The property is full of trees which are accented with string lights, giving the space a charming & peaceful feel. The property is centered around a 100 year old barn & silo. We have a field to the north of the barn for kids to play and enjoy some of their favorite recess games. What people love most is the space we have room to roam and be free from the hustle and bustle. This isn’t a backyard yard game type place where everyone sits on top of each other. This is acres of land that gives you space and freedom. We have everything you need to rest, have fun, and make memories.

Wayback Barn

**Hayloft Bar & Griddle**, tucked right inside the hundred-year-old barn (Wayback Barn) that’s seen more sunsets than most of us ever will, is a spot that folks around town talk about in hushed, happy tones. With its weather-worn beams, cozy nooks, and a porch made for sittin’, Hayloft is where rustic charm and good eatin’ come together just right. The menu? Short and sweet—just how country folks like it. Behind the bar, they’re pourin’ beer, a thoughtful pick of wine, and a mighty fine selection of whiskey. It’s the kind of place where the glass is always half full and the conversation flows as easy as a summer breeze.

So if you’re driftin’ through McKinney in search for a restaurant or just lookin’ for a new favorite hideaway, come on down to **Hayloft Bar & Griddle**. Grab a seat, raise a glass, and stay awhile—'cause out here, every night feels like a front porch kind of night.

Join the Collin County Master Gardeners Association for the 2026 Fall Plant Sale on Saturday, October 24, from 9 a.m. to noon, or until sold out, at Myers Park & Event Center in McKinney.  
  
Why Plant in the Fall?  
Fall is one of the best times to plant in North Texas. Cooler air temperatures reduce heat stress while soils remain warm enough to support root growth. Planting in fall gives many trees, shrubs and perennials time to establish stronger root systems before winter and provides a valuable head start before the return of North Texas summer heat.  
  
What Will You Find?  
Shop a wide selection of plants for North Texas gardens, including perennials, shrubs, Japanese maples, ornamental grasses, bulbs, irises, daylilies, cool-season annuals, drought-tolerant plants and other seasonal selections. Collin County Master Gardener volunteers will be available to answer gardening questions and help shoppers choose plants for their landscapes.  
  
What to Expect:  
- A wide variety of plants selected for North Texas gardens  
- Collin County Master Gardeners available to answer gardening questions  
- Free parking and no sales tax  
- Credit cards (American Express, Discover, Visa and MasterCard), debit cards and checks accepted; no cash  
- Shoppers are encouraged to bring a cart or wagon and arrive early for the best selection  
  
A plant list will be posted on the event website closer to the sale as information becomes available.  
The event is held rain or shine. No dogs permitted inside the venue.
