Good morning, Tyler.
🏘️ Community
Today, SPCA of East Texas is hosting an event with adoptable pets at 3245 W.
Grande Blvd. in Tyler—showcasing a Great Pyrenees mix named Birdie, an 8-year-old Schnauzer mix called Luckie, a Labrador mix named Lydia, a calm cat called Midnight, and a playful tabby named Cheeto—and residents can call 903-596-7722 for details until Oct 26.
Today, Tyler hosted a Texas Rose Festival parade featuring floats, music — and other attractions.
Neighbors gathered to enjoy a festive day of community spirit.
🎭 Culture
A fiddle contest is keeping the East Texas Yamboree tradition alive today — players preserve the fiddle sound that was part of the event before carnival rides and vendors arrived.
Organizers say the contest honors a long-standing musical heritage.
At Saturday’s Queen Tea at the Tyler Rose Garden, community members met Rose Queen Avery Craft Armstrong, Princess Mary-Michael Dial, and the court in their elaborate coronation costumes.
The event, part of the 92nd Texas Rose Festival, featured a stunning floral display by Everything Florals by Dylan—bringing the 'Tapestry of Tales' theme to life for all in attendance.
