Kid's Fishing Day
No one is too young to learn to fish in East Texas. Once a year, the City of Pittsburg and Texas Parks and Wildlife sponsor a fishing event just for kids. The City Park Pond on Texas Street is stocked with enough winter trout to provide hours of fishing fun. Kid's Fishing Day is the last Saturday in February and is open to children ages 16 and under. To register call City Hall at 903-856-3621.
Samuel Morse Day
Samuel Morse's invention of the telegraph in 1837 made information electronic for the first time. To commemorate Morse's birthday, telegraphers from across the state meet on the last Saturday in April to test their skills at the Pittsburg Depot Museum's working telegraph station. Call the museum for more information 903-856-1200.
Pittsburg Rodeo
For great family entertainment, don't miss the annual rodeo. Held every year in May on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of Mother's Day weekend. On Saturday morning, one of the highlights of the weekend is the "handicapable" rodeo.
