Dr. Bob Glaze our 1968 President passed away Friday, June 25th 2010. Dr. Bob was a very special man who not only loved the Yamboree through years of selfless service but also served as Past President of the Gilmer Area Chamber of Commerce and represented our community on the state level as well on the Texas House of Represntatives.  Please remember his family in your prayers at this time as we will all miss at this years Yamboree and in the year's to come.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

The East Texas Yamboree is one of the longest running festivals in Texas with well over one hundred thousand people attending every year.

What makes the Yamboree special to so many people?

Many would say it's the great carnival that we make sure to expand every year with many exciting new rides and attractions. Others have said that its the wonderful Queen's Coronation Pageant with all its beautiful and talented young ladies and the spectacle that they bring to our stage. Then we have the Livestock Show and Sale where one gets to enjoy seeing the  animals that our youth have raised  just to showcase at this special event.

Others love the barn dance where we get to see the rising young stars of country music and dance the night away. Let's not forget the parades, gospel singing, the exhibits, the art and photography shows, the food (that's one of my favorites), high school football, spending time with family and old friends plus  myriad other activities taking place over this special weekend in October.

All of these things and more make the East Texas Yamboree an event that people come from all over the world to enjoy  every year.

So come  and see for yourself what makes the Yamboree special to so many of us; you won't be disappointed.
