TYLER — Beautiful weather greeted locals and visitors as Tyler’s 53rd annual Azalea and Spring Flower Trail moved through its first weekend. Tourists can tour the trails for two more weekends and attend annual events scheduled all over Tyler. The Azalea and Spring Flower Trail features a ten mile tract of azaleas, dogwoods, and other spring flowers. The ambassadors of the Trail, the Azalea Belles, will be on hand to greet guests and pose for pictures.
The event kicked off with a ribbon cutting and opening ceremony Friday morning at the Pyron Home located at 212 W. Dobbs. Every year the Azalea and Spring Flower Trail brings a substantial economic impact to Tyler. In 2011, the estimated economic impact for Tyler was over $2 million.
