SUMMARY:Lighthouses and Longhorns Texas Tour wraps up in PA
DESCRIPTION:A coast-loving gang of lighthouse lovers will “focus” on the fresnal Sabine Banks house lens at Museum of the Gulf Coast. Lighthouses and Longhorns, the U.S. Lighthouse Society Texas Tour, wraps up in Port Arthur this weekend.     Lighthouse fans from all over met up at the Alamo and headed south to explore unique Texas landmarks. After their Port Arthur overnight, the adventurers will explore the Sabine Pass Lighthouse early Saturday, March 10, then gather at the museum.    Jeff Gales, a club representative, said members had toured “every inch” of U.S. coastline but this area of Texas.     “The Gulf Coast of Texas is a vast, remote section of the United States, and orchestrating this monumental effort to visit these historic landmarks demonstrates the Society's dedication to draw attention to all of America's precious lighthouses and their preservation,” said Gales, who didn’t get to make this trip. He’s “stuck” in his lighthouse office in the Point No Point area of Hansville, Wa. He said he’s cheering on members who got to make the trek to Port Arthur.     Museum of the Gulf Coast is presenting ¡Carnaval!, a traveling exhibit of Mardi Gras-style celebrations around the globe. Those who step in at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 10, will get the treat of a free screening of the documentary “Eggs, Fire, and Ashes.” The first 20 to attend will receive a ticket to the anticipated Rotary Club of Port Arthur’s Taste of Gumbo on March 17.     Check out another traveling exhibit, “The Boudain Trail,” while at Museum of the Gulf Coast. The museum features everything from gators and a lighthouse lens to Janis Joplin memorabilia and tributes to sports legends such as Jimmy Johnson.
