Eustace reschedules Pioneer Day from summer to fall

by David Webb

David Webb is a veteran journalist who has written for the mainstream and alternative media for three decades. He is now a freelancer who lives in the Cedar Creek Lake area.

The Eustace City Council recently decided to schedule the annual Pioneer Day celebration in the fall.

It will be Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017. The city previously celebrated the event in June every year.

Council members said the fall event should lessen the strain on animals and spectators because of cooler temperatures.

The event includes a parade, games, vendors and food.

It is a celebration of the town's farming and ranching heritage that takes place in the town square, which features a restored pioneer cabin.

Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 4)

FAIR. Water lightly stained; 60–62 degrees, 2.30’ low. Largemouth bass continue to be fair on Carolina rigged creature baits, plastic worms, and buzz baits along the Caney Creek flats on the southeast end of the lake. Hybrid stripers are good with Rat–L–Traps matching the baitfish throughout the lake and moving with schools. Crappie are good on pink and white jigs around large docks and structures. Catfish are good on cut shad, dough bait, and stinkbait over corks. Trotlines are good with live bait, especially on the southeastern fingers. High winds have made some days difficult.
