No Christmas Balloon Glow in Longview

LONGVIEW – The weather is causing a Christmas celebration in Longview to be canceled. The Christmas Balloon Glow, scheduled for the Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center, has been canceled for Thursday because of thunderstorms in the forecast. The organization said on its Facebook page, they had previously said “there would be no “rain date” or plan B, but we will let you know if that changes.” The event, which is organized by local balloon pilots in East Texas, is not an official Great Texas Balloon Race event.
