I wish I had better news to pass along about the upcoming Fall and Winter weather and the resulting wildfire forecast, but according to the Texas Forest Service we should expect below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures through the end of the year. 

Josh Abbott who will be headlining Tyler's Festival on The Square coming up  October 8 is donating  money brought in from his new song 'Hell's Gates On Fire' co-written with Brandon Rhyder to aid victims of the devastating fires that have been steadily working to burn down Texas the past week.  They are asking for at the very least $1, but encourage you to donate more --big thanks the the JAB crew from all of us in East Texas and from everyone affected by these disastrous fires.
