GILMER, Texas — The East Texas Yamboree in October as well as the upcoming fireworks show in Gilmer have been canceled because of COVID-19 concerns.

"It was the unanimous decision by all that there is no way in the world to hold the Yamboree or 4th of July celebrations this year responsibly," Tefteller said.
