Flag bearer Ben Lane (left) is accompanied by his cousin, Trevor
Lane, to carry Old Glory and the Lone Star at the head of the
annual Pioneer Day Parade in Eustace last year. More than 100
people participated in the history-honoring exhibition.
Every year this day-long celebration draws crowds to Eustace for
games of skill, and unique crafts and gift items. A day of
entertainment and activities are planned for the annual event,
starting with the Fourth annual Pioneer Day 5K Walk/Run at 8
a.m.
Once again, coach Gene Myers is heading up this event. A $20
entry fee comes with a T-shirt. The top three winners in each
age group will be presented with an award following the race.
Pick up a registration form at the city hall, or call Myers at
(903) 477-1379.
Spectators thrill to see hometown high school track stars
compete against arch rivals from neighboring school districts in
this fun competition.
Others are inspired by the field of senior athletes this event
continues to attract.
After the race, the bazaar opens for browsing through arts,
crafts and food booths.
