A New Christmas Tradition In An Old East Texas Town

A new tradition is born Saturday Dec 7th 2019. Manning's Old Town Christmas Festival and Lighting of the Mansion. It's the second annual Christmas festival and they are going to light it up in grand fashion.

There will be guided tours, arts, and crafts all on Sawmill Lake at 10am. It is actually going to be a nice day for it.  If you want to go this event it's Saturday - December 7th 2019, tickets are just $7. For more details and contacts just CLICK HERE

When you ask someone from Lufkin or Nacogdoches,  "Where is Manning, Texas?" they will say, "Never heard of it". That is unless the people are over 80. They might remember a time that the small town between Lufkin and Huntington had around 1,500 residents. Back in the day it was a sawmill town, and Lufkin was the only town in Angelina County that was larger.

So now that you know Manning exists, you have to go. I mean, there will be fireworks and lots of Christmas lights. I'm down for sure.
