CANTON TEXAS,The Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial, East Texas Fiber Festival and City Lake Park.
The Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial was created by a grass roots organization of county citizens representing the communities of Ben Wheeler, Canton, Colfax, Edgewood, Edom, Fruitvale, Grand Saline, Martins Mill, Myrtle Springs, Van, Wills Point and surrounding East Texas areas.
The Mission:
To honor the sons and daughters of Van Zandt County and all Military Veterans through education, while providing a place of reflection. Create solutions to maintain and preserve our grounds, museum, veterans’ contributions to the United States, and to positively impact all we serve. The Memorial is a place of beauty and reverence where families and veterans can find peace in the memory of lost loved ones.
The Memorial was established to create in all who see this Veterans Plaza as a monument for the understanding of the magnitude of loss we all share in the name of freedom.

We enjoyed our walk around the Canton Texas Civic Center as we viewed beautiful hand spun and dyed yarns. The East Texas Fiber Festival had the building packed with many vendors from all over. There were growers, spinners and creators in booths from wall to wall. In this friendly atmosphere we got to admire the craftiness of so many. There were so many craft projects to see we had to walk up the aisles several time to take them in.If you have not been be sure to keep a eye out for next years posting.

Open House at Tri Town Area Historical Society Museum
On December 14, 2019 I visited the Tri Town Area Historical Society Museum in Dawson, Pennsylvania. The museum houses many different types of artifacts from the area,especially from the late 19th century and early 20th century ( the coal and coke era of my area). At the time the railroads were essential in moving not only coal and coke, but also freight and passengers in and out of the area. The museum also houses Sam Powell's Pine Creek Valley RR (His model railroad depicting this area).The S scale layout was donated to the museum in 2016 and with the cooperation of the Pittsburgh S Gaugers Club, was moved from Gaithersburg,Md to Dawson,Pa. The Dawson Boro is located on the northern bank of the Youghiogheny River southeast of Pittsburgh Pa. in the heart of the region modeled on the layout. For more infromation about the Tri Town Area Historical Society and touring infromation contct Nicole Anderson at 724-529-1026 i would like to thank all the volenteers at Tri Town Area Historical Society for their hard work and dedication to preserving the area's history and making readily available to the public.
