Gilmer Area Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Oct. 12.
We would like to happily announce the Queen’s Race will be held for the 83rd East Texas Yamboree!! The race will begin November 23rd and end December 4th. Although we will not be able to have any of the normal Yamboree festivities, we felt it was of an importance to allow the girls to run and partake in a pageant. The pageant will be held March 6th & 7th.
The participants will follow all Covid protocols during the race as well as the pageant. We will be promoting each candidates means of fundraising here on our Facebook page as well as our webpage.
The girl’s running for the queen’s title will be selling tickets for raffle items as well as accepting any donations. Raffle items will be announced closer to start date.
We wish each of the participants a safe and great race!
