Besides having the Pioneering Demonstrators, our Arts & Crafts Booths, a Food Court with mouth watering turkey legs and sweet tooth funnel cakes, the Dulcimers have agreed to perform during the day along with Payton Swift and other local talent. 

Speaking of talent C&C Glamorous have agreed to do a Cowgirl/boy beauty pageant.  The pageant will be held inside the civic center  (armory) along with our 4th Annual "Quilt Show".  This is the time to bring that special quilt for those that want to show off their talent or the craft work of their ancestors.  This year our own Jo Caraway with It's Sew Personal and Sanquiltwinner2009dra Sanders, owner of the "Whistle Stop" , have joined together to make this quilt show one of the best in East Texas. Please note that quilt vendors will not be allowed to set up in this area, they will need to contact the chamber at 903-683-4242 for a booth application.  

For those who enjoy making Jam and Jelly, the Good Samaritan's 4th Annual Jam & Jelly Contest will be held at inside the armory. Entrance fee is FREE and 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place prizes will be awarded with "Gift Gas Cards"! To enter the Jam & Jelly Contest, contact Wally Walker at 903-683-4228 or Kay "Baby" Epperson at 903-6834285 or just bring your jam or jelly to the Armory before 10am.  Judges will announce the winners at noon.
