The 16th Annual Pineywoods Purgatory , East Texas' premier cycling event, was held Saturday, October 6, in Lufkin and the surrounding countryside.  The event started from the Pitser Garrison Civic Center, and followed miles of rolling hills and thickly wooded forests. The event offered four rides ranging from 25 to 102 miles through the heart of the Texas Forest Country.  This year's event was the best to date!  Watch the video.

      Lions Club Annual Chili Cook Off

                                                           The Lions Club annual chili cook off was held in February.

Nineteen teams, composed of Lions Club members, competed to see who could cook the best chili. Local Judges and city officials were begged to come judge the event.  After much fun and tired taste buds the winners were determined.  First place went to J. McCleskey's Team.  Second, went to D. Moore's team and third went to T. McCleskey's team.  DFL (Dead Frigin' Last)  was awarded to J. Hancock and G. Bowman.

Many thanks to our members who organized the event.
