Welcome all polits!  

Posted by JasonHarrison

This concerns the Great East-Texas Balloon Race that is held every year in Longview. There is always a great turn out, but this year things were dampened by high winds. The event was cancelled, but the good times could still be found if you looked hard enough. This was the sign that was posted as we left the grounds. I have also included a possible introductory speach that could have been done, had the event actually happened this year.



"Welcome all polits, one and all! Even those polits that fly hot air balons and plaines! We even welcome all those polits that operate jet botes and fishin botes. Yes, Polits are our freends here at the East Texas Reegonal Ereport in Longvuw! We are glad that youn's have come out to support this here event, and hope that you find our akoma, akomada, akomudashuns good and plinty(round of applause for getting through that one!)

Shuld you need anything, please grab one of our event speculists and ring their bell. Them event speculists are them folks with the yellar vests on that say "STAFF" on 'em. I mean the vests say staff, not the people. Actually, the vests don't say nothing, they can't talk. What I mean is, the word "STAFF" is writ... I'm sorry, writ ain't a word...that's the problem when you read sumpin that some body else gives you... WROTE on the back of the vest. Have a good time here and thanks for comin!"

I thought the sign was funny, and I make light of the event only in humor. This event is great every year, and it was unfortunate that it could not take place this year. Everyone is always spectacular during this good time, and they always do a grand job. You need to catch it when it comes around next year, I know I will!
