Soon the Festival of Trees entries will adorn the lawn of the Palestine Public Library , downtown merchant ’ s windows will be merrily filled with beautiful decorations I encourage you to save at least one of your Saturdays for shopping in historic downtown Palestine . Kick off the morning with a brunch at Queen St . Grille , enjoy a morning of shopping for special or unique finds that might be the perfect fit for those hard to shop for people on your list . Enjoy lunch at one of several downtown locations , like Old Magnolia , Pint & Barrel , Home Grill Steakhouse or New Town Double Tap .
