The activities start at 9 a.m. with the 'Beauty & the Beast Bicycle Tour' and will begin behind ETX Brewing Co. on College Street.

This year's grand door prize is (4) tickets to the TXU Energy Suite at the American Airlines Center to see the Dallas Stars play the San Jose Sharks.

You know that dreamy feeling you get after watching a classic movie set in an idyllic bars and you just want to wander down and find one yourself? This is it.

Although past 9 p.m., the sky was so bright it seemed much earlier. Scattered clouds moved quickly across the moon, casting stunning shadows on the sidewalk.

Wait, there's a science to making beer? Absolutely. Perhaps there's a bit of art in there, too. Enjoy food and games, as well, while helping the community.

Enjoy great food and local brews. ETX Brewing Co. is such a fun place to be at any time during the year--but especially with pets and pics with Santa!

Activities include Rose City Farmers' 'Winter Market,' the Holly Jolly Paws adoption event, and 'Blue Santa Pub Crawl,' from 4 to 8 p.m.

Oh, I can just imagine the wonderful things we'll find at the Rose City Farmer's Market in downtown Tyler just prior to Thanksgiving.

Getting to see video of the past is pretty cool, despite how grainy and low quality it is. The City of Tyler YouTube channel has video of the building of the brick streets in downtown.

You can just about count on some seasonal treats and fall produce offerings to make it feel extra special. In fact, this is one of my favorite times to go!
