There is plenty to do this weekend and you don’t have to go far from home to have a great time.  There is a Trail of Treasure, a Hometown Market, a full slate of football games, and a couple of large local events.

Get out early Saturday morning for the 50 Mile of Treasure Trail.  It runs from Stonewall, along US 171 through Grand Cane to Mansfield.  Turn west on US 84 and continue through Stanley and Logansport, then cross the Sabine river into Jouquin, Texas.

It’s all free to attend.  There are garage sales, church sales, bake sales, antiques, restaurants and merchants are offering special deals, plus lots of arts and crafts.  Enjoy a day of exploring and finding gifts for the holidays.

Stop for a while in Logansport for the Hometown Market.  They moved the date in October to coincide with the trail.  From 7:00 am until 12:00 Noon you’ll find home grown produce, preserved goods, crafts and more.

Go cheer on your favorite high school football team Friday night.  Two of the parish teams are playing at home.  The North DeSoto Griffins hit the road Friday traveling to Woodlawn.  The Griffins are perfect 5-0 this year.  Mansfield is at home with a strong Many team coming for a visit.  And Rosepine will play at Logansport.

If you think that is a lot, the rest of the weekends in October seem just as jam-packed.  There is a lot to see and do in DeSoto Parish.
