The East Texas Yamboree Association Partnership with the Upshur County Crimestoppers in 2024 is proud to launch a new Curbside Safety Campaign.

This program is designed to provide a higher level of safety awareness and risk prevention to all participants during both the Friday School and Saturday Queens Parade and event access.

More information is located on the Queens Parade Information Page.

 

The 87th Eas Texas Yamboree Association would like to thank all those who made this such a successful and enjoyable year for all; such as our new Queen Katie Ella Henson and her family. The civic clubs and all their Ladies-in-waiting. The Bandboosters, classic cars, Bandstand, fiddlers' contest, the Friday School, and Saturday Queens Parade were successes as well.  The midway, concessionaries and all the different games bring a great time for everyone.

Thank you to the hard work of the pageant committee to making this year a success as well. The Livestock Show and Sale was bigger and better than last years and that is from the work of that committee as well.

The inside and Outside Exhibits have grown so big that they take over the whole north section of the Yamboree Grounds.

Let's not forget the Gospel Stage which was bigger and better this year.

All of these and coutless other actvities would not be possible without the countless hours of volunteers working 100's of hours behind the seens to make all of this happen every year.
