Things to do

Depending on how you look at it, El Chuco is either dead last or best of the best.

West Texas may seem quiet, but it’s actually bursting with surprises—like a world-class observatory that’s been unlocking the secrets of the universe since 1933.

Texas has anything and everything you could possibly want. A strong economy, lots of room to grow, plenty to see and do - the list goes on. You can experience just about any climate or setting you want and never leave Texas.

Tripadvisor recently ranked the top 10 things to do here both in El Chuco and all over Texas. I agree they're all fun places to visit, and they're all free, but my own list would look a little different.

Looking for something a little different and something fun for the whole family? Get ready for the Let Freedom Roar Parade.

Time to think of cooler temperatures and you can at a Christmas is July sip and shop event at a winery not far from Texarkana.

If you're looking for something different and fun this weekend then this will really fit the bill. Hot air balloons are such a beautiful and majestic sight to see. Another wonderful sight to see is a balloon glow. This is when hot air balloons are on the ground and lit up at night. You have the chance to see it all this weekend.

Grab the kids because this weekend it's Fairytales on Ice: Pirates and The Little Mermaid coming to Hempstead Hall in Hope.

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Be sure to check out the Canterbury Renaissance Festival of Northeast Texas Saturday, September 11 and Sunday, September 12.

Finally! Here's something fun for the adults to do this weekend. The Texarkana Museum System is hosting a party to celebrate Harry Potter Month and the fun is for adults only.

If you love cats, I'm talking big cats, then you really should check out the Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge just north of Tyler, Texas.
