Get Out And Enjoy Yourself At These 7 East Texas Weekend Events

East Texans will be looking for something to do outdoors this weekend after spending a week locked up inside due to the deep freeze that Old Man Winter decided to throw at us this past week.

With more normal and above-normal temperatures coming, we'll be looking for something to do outside. While the spring festival season is still a few weeks away, East Texas is still full of fun, family-friendly events that the family can attend, along with some events for adults only!

Some of what's happening this weekend is:

• spring gardening seminar
• car show
• yard and craft sale
• a dueling piano event
• a bridal expo

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