Eustace to celebrate Pioneer Day in cooler weather

Pioneer Day will be celebrated in the Eustace town square Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017, from 8 a.m. to midnight.

The celebration starts with a Dutch Oven Cooking Dessert Contest at 8.m. A parade begins at 10 a.m., and there will be a pet contest at 11:30 a.m. with awards for best pet, best costume, best trick and best personality.

There will be vendors with crafts and food and drinks, games, contests to include a talent show, watermelon toss, toe sack races, three-legged races, horseshoe pitching, dominoes and pie-throwing at city officials. There will also be a pie and cake auction.

The talent show will begin at 3 p.m.

A cakewalk will be hosted by the Eustace High School Band at 10:30 a.m., and a pizza-eating contest starts at noon. Both will take place in the town square gazebo.

Music by the John Allen Band begins at 8 p.m. for a street dance in the square.

Eustace formerly celebrated Pioneer Day in June, but city officials moved it to September to take advantage of cooler weather.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 85 degrees; 0.26 feet above pool. Big numbers of white bass and several trophy-class hybrid stripers have hit the deck. We are consistently finding the best action in 15–22 feet of water. Good go-to setups include a variety of slabs, sometimes paired with 2–3 jigs above, and the always-reliable yellow bladed jig using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons at 3 mph in 13–17 feet of water absolutely crushed the white bass. Water temperatures are currently holding around 83 degrees and will continue to rise as summer heats up over the next couple of weeks. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom, or drifting larger cut carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
