GALION Organizers of the Pickle Run Festival are giving local residents something to look forward to in the middle of a cold winter.
The annual mid-summer celebation has been scheduled for July 2-3 at Heise Park in Galion, according to Sarah Capretta, a member of the planning committee. Event listings for the festival itself and the car and cycle show were posted to the festival’s Facebook page this week.
Earlier this week, I got an email from Jeremy Flowers, Special Event Coordinator for the East Texas Crisis Center, with some sad news, the 2021 edition of the East Texas Auto & Cycle Show has been cancelled due to the current pandemic. Each year it s a lot of fun to head to Harvey Convention Center in Tyler and look at all the great vintage cars trucks and motorcycles restored in pristine condition.

But as happens with some sad news, there is a silver lining, you can still help out the East Texas Crisis Center by entering the raffle for a chance to win a restored 1965 Mustang Coupe. This machine is a thing of beauty, too. It has a vintage burgundy metallic paint job, black interior, a 4-speed transmission, and brand new air conditioning and heating system.

TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Lana Peacock, the executive director of the East Texas Crisis Center joined East Texas Nowâs Kayla Lyons to discuss their upcoming raffle and explain how the center helps women in crisis.
The annual East Texas Auto & Cycle Show normally raises around $200,000 for services like their emergency shelter, risk assessment, and safety planning, but this year which would have been the 31st show has been canceled for the safety of the community.

The 30th anniversary of the East Texas Auto & Cycle Show was at Harvey Convention Center last year. There was a plethora of vehicles and motorcycles on display for all to see. For a $10 entry, which has always benefited the East Texas Crisis Center, you got a huge bargain for the awesome machines you could get up close and personal with.

Being the Tim Burton fan that I am, hearing that the Batmobile from his 80 s Batman movie was going to be there, I had to go see it. Yeah, I geeked out a bit. The only thing that could have made this better was if they got to crank it and shoot some flames from the back.
