Comedy, Horses, And Fireworks; East Texas Weekend Events (June 28th)

(Mix 93-1) It doesn't matter what time of year it is, there is ALWAYS something going on in East Texas.

There is always something happening on the weekend for you and your family to be a part of. Whether it's to better your neighborhood or community through service hours or being entertained at a free festival, fun awaits you every weekend.

This time of year, yes, it's hot, and there's the dreaded yard work that has to get done or house cleaning to do, but you can push those activities off until later in the afternoon or the weekend to get out with the family and be a part of something fun.

Just remember to stay hydrated, seek shade, and apply sunscreen when you're out having fun.

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