Valentine’s Dances, Shopping, Hit The Bricks & More To Do In East Texas

It's Super Bowl LIV weekend. We'll be tuned in to Fox Sunday afternoon to see who will win the Vince Lombardi trophy. Will it be the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles?

A lot of preparation is needed to host a Super Bowl party on Sunday. The grocery stores are going to be busy selling all kinds of chips and dips, pizza veggie trays, wings, chicken strips and desserts.

The 'False Spring' we experienced this week, with the temperatures in the mid-70s to low-80s will come to an end Saturday evening as a strong cold front is expected to move through Saturday night and throughout the day on Sunday dropping temps back to the mid-60s Sunday and into the 50s on Monday!

Winter isn't done with us yet!

With so much happening on our social calendars, there's also quite a bit happening around East Texas as well.

Here's a look at what's happening this weekend in East Texas.
