The General
The Buster Keaton classic, The General, is generally regarded as one of the best films of all time, despite its original poor reception. This silent film, released in 1926, stars Buster Keaton, who plays Johnnie Gray, a Western & Atlantic Railroad train engineer. The film is based on a memoir written by a Union soldier in 1863 titled The Great Locomotive Chase. It is a thrilling tale involving a train chase, Union spies, and even romance.
January 28th, see The General at the Cowan Center. The East Texas Symphony Orchestra will perform the soundtrack live, directed by Richard Lee. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience one of the most iconic silent films in history.
Shop Local
When someone imagines the farmer’s market, they might think of ripe watermelon or sun-blistered tomatoes, crates of summer squash overflowing with yellow crooknecks and zucchini. But the farmer’s market isn’t just for summer. There are several great winter markets nearby, so be sure to check them out and support the local community.
Highway 155 Farmer’s Market is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Highway 155 in Flint. This is a good place to find fall crops like winter squash or greens, local meats, and freshly made jams.
The Rose City Farmers Market has updated hours during the winter months, but they still meet in downtown Tyler next to ETX Brewing Co. The winter market is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. every second Saturday of the month. Here you can find comforting baked goods, flowers, and winter produce from a local greenhouse. There will be live music on the porch outside ETX Brewing Co, so it’s a great place to shop and hang out with friends.
