The Pulpwood Queen Reports Calendar of Events in Jefferson, Texas this Weekend!

Dear Readers,

Holy Moley, is Jefferson going to be busy this weekend! Below you will find all the events going on in my fair city and I am telling you, this is the motherlode of weekends.

Now as for me, I have Homecoming hair tomorrow at the shop but plan to rise at the crack of dawn to visit some of the citywide garge sales before I turn on the curling irons at the shop!

So what are you waiting for, come to Jefferson and bring the whole family. As you can see we have something for everybody!

Tiara Wearing and Book sharing,
