Fairs, Car Shows, Plant Sale, Bargain Sales And More This Weekend In East Texas

Fall arrived in East Texas last Sunday and thanks to the 'cool' front that moved through Wednesday it's feeling a bit more fall-ish. I won't say it's Fall weather, but it's getting close. Many East Texans are still waiting for the first big cold front to arrive so they can wear their fleece-lined boots, hoodies, and jackets.

While you wait for that first major cold front, get outside, enjoy this extremely nice weather for a change, and relax this weekend.

Here's a look at events happening across East Texas this weekend.
