It's Adrian Peterson Day in Palestine on Saturday. Parade starts at 10 a.m. Former Palestine and Oklahoma teammates and coaches will be on hand to honor the Minnesota Vikings' first-round pick. If you ever get a little jaded with pro sports, a good hometown visit will show you how grounded most professional athletes are.

Peterson and Nike may even make a major donation to get the Palestine's football stadium covered in the latest fieldturf _ the same good stuff that JerryWorld is getting.

In Odessa, former Skyline and NBA star Larry Johnson is hosting a golf tournament for Odessa Junior College.

Earlier this month at a La Marque summer camp, Cowboys safety Keith Davis was the star attraction as he helped out a former Sam Houston State teammate running the camp.

In Texarkana this weekend, it's the Sixth Annual Hometown NFL Weekend for dozens of current and former pro athletes including the Chicago Bears' Nathan Vasher.
