Tyler County Booster
“Toast to Texas” is over. Because of publishing deadlines you will have to wait until next week to read the various toasts written by Texas history students from the school districts in Tyler County. I hope we will have a good turnout to listen to the students and to toast our great state of Texas with branch water. The Pickett House has some new hours on Saturday that you need to know. The restaurant will now close at 6 p.m. to Saturday. It can remain open later with prior arrangements. If you have a party of fifteen or more and need a later closing you need only to call the Village at 283-2272 to check the date.
