East TexasThere is East Texas, and Deep East Texas for those in the know. Nacogdoches deep in the region is the oldest town in Texas. The piney woods make up a large portion of the area; like another world contrasted with the plains and scrub brush common in the rest of Texas. The pine and hardwood forests provide majestic scenery and home to many state parks and water recreational areas.
In cities and towns like Tyler, Jacksonville, Palestine and Buffalo the magic of spring comes to life when the dogwoods and azaleas bloom. In fact Tyler is home to the nations largest municipal rose garden and local roses are world famous beauties. The Big Thicket National Preserve is an easy drive from Beaumont, Orange or Jasper where the lush wetlands support an amazing and diverse ecosystem.
Historic towns like Paris and New Boston in the north of West Texas are family friendly destinations that host activities and events year round for locals and visitors. Paris is now an official site for the nationally sanctioned McKenzie ASA Pro/Am archery tournament. The tournament held the first weekend in April is one of six held nationally. Spring time in Paris sound good? The Paris Arts Festival is held the Saturday of Mother's Day weekend and is a full day of arts, crafts, and entertainment.
The discovery of oil in the early 1900's created boomtowns like Kilgore and Henderson while the railroad was key in the establishment of towns like Canton, Lindale, Longview and Marshall which sit along today's I 20 corridor.
Kilgore once had the highest density of oil well in one city block in all the world. Today there are over 80 oil rigs in town, all topped with illuminated stars representing Kilgore's patriotism.
H.O.G. members and motorcycle rides mount up and head to Longview for the memorial day weekend. The Party in the Pines Motorcycle Rally will be held at the Longview Fairgrounds Complex and will feature games, a parade, a bike show and ride. Don't miss the fun and entertainment even if a bike is still on that wish list.
The annual Antique Tractor and Engine Show is hosted by the city of Longview at the Rusk County Youth and Exposition Center. In addition to the vintage of vintage equipment, there will be fun for all with tractor races and games, rope making and a tractor pull. For an excellent example of terrific community energy, Carthage, one of the 2010 56 National Main Street Cities in Texas can be enjoyed a short drive away. Spring brings an organized clean up effort to keep downtown clean and revitalized. The Texas County Music Hall of Fame with the Tex Ritter Museum is also a nice stop in Carthage.
Historic Nacogdoches is just that and much more. Leave your white clothes at home and attend the 20th Annual Texas Blueberry Festival in June. Any imaginable blueberry recipe is sure to be there for the sampling; along with fresh picked berries for mom's favorite blueberry dessert. And here the East Texas Motorcycle Enthusiasts sponsor several events for charity throughout the year. The first event in April is the Cajun Cook-off - benefiting the Make a Wish Foundation; and the appetites of those in attendance.
From Beaumont and Orange in the south of East Texas to many of the towns above, Best Western Hotels are ready for your visit. With convenient and affordable accommodations look for Best Western to round out your itinerary.
