East Texas Weekend Events You Won’t Want To Miss

(Mix 93-1) Here we are at the end of the week. You're weekend may already be planned out with yard work, kids' birthday parties, cleaning house and doing laundry, or being involved in some kind of sporting tournament or theater play with the kids.

On the other hand, your weekend may be wide open, and your social and obligation calendar may be wide open with no plans at all.

In either case, there are quite a few activities and events that you can be a part of in East Texas this weekend.

It may involve breaking some plans that you have already, or making some, and filling up the time slots on your calendar!

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