Good morning, Tyler.

Children’s Village in Tyler helps East Texas foster children gain stability and healing by offering round-the-clock residential care and launching a new program to recruit local foster families.

The nonprofit model uses live-in cottage parents (providing consistent support) to keep siblings together and build lasting community ties.

Lone Star Skynyrd, an award-winning tribute band endorsed by the Van Zant family, will perform a two-hour show at Blackhawk Creek Grill in Whitehouse at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 25.

SECO hosted a workshop at Tyler Public Library on Wednesday from 5 to 6:30 p.m. where homeowners and manufacturers heard details about upcoming Texas HOMES and HEAR rebate programs and shared feedback to shape the design for energy upgrades for low and moderate income households.

Rising costs have led local tourism experts to advise Tyler families to explore free splash pads, park adventures, and visits to the Caldwell Zoo + the Cotton Belt Railroad Depot Museum for budget-friendly summer day trips; similar affordable outings are planned across East Texas.
