Last Saturday was one of Lufkin's first Market Trade days, and it was poppin'. (Is that what the kids are saying these days?) Now we have SpringFest around the corner and it's going to be an even bigger community gathering!

If you don't know what SpringFest is, don't worry. It's actually just the Lufkin Downtown Hoedown with a new name. Check out the SpringFest Facebook page to see everything they'll have to offer as they bring back the old traditions you love, while also re-branding with some new attractions for a younger appeal.

Yeah, that little button you see there. It's for real. How many of you wanted to get a glimpse of Lufkin from a different view? It's not like they have helicopter rides for the public or anything, and the last time I checked, they started locking the roof access door of the Perry building downtown.

We hope to see you enjoying all the festivities that the Lufkin SpringFest has to offer.

Springfest will be April 22nd starting at 10 AM and going all the way until 4 PM.
