East Texas has seen its fare share of rain and severe weather this spring. It's been one of the wettest years on records, and one that has caused much pain and destruction for many East Texas families.

Summer is here and the only thing kids can think about is going to the pool. Teach them these pool games to make their time there even more fun!

It's time to break out the sunscreen, floaties and your swim suit and head off to the pool to have some fun in the summer sun!  The Tyler Parks and Recreation Department will be opening the city's two pools on Saturday, June 2nd!

The weather in East Texas is heating up. While many of us have come to accept our region’s blistering summers, others would prefer to skip ahead to Halloween. If you’re among the latter group, consider one of the many ways to enjoy the sunshine over the next few months.
