2002 Autumn Trails Tour The last weekend in October is Autumn Trails time in the little East Texas town of Winnsboro. This event mainly caters to Model A'ers but many other types of collector cars make the trek. Events include a Friday night stew, a parade down Main Street, looking through the shops, hardware store and bakery, a swap meet, car games, and an awards banquet. Sunday morning brings a scenic tour down some back roads of East Texas. This event is put on each year by the Autumn Trails Model A Ford Club.
