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 (Apr. 23)

EXCELLENT. stained; 69 degrees; 0.12 feet below pool. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop-offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits with a very slow retrieve off the bottom in 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The shad spawn is in full swing, so the early shallow wall bite is on fire all over the lake. Fresh caught shad tossed up to the walls on bottom or under a float are a sure way to catch good numbers of nice eating sized catfish. There is still a deeper drifting bite in 12-24 feet of water using cut shad, drum or carp drifted along the bottom. Many fish being caught in the 10-50 pound range. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
