Good morning, Longview.

Saturday's first Peltier Fest at Peltier Ford in Longview drew at least 2,500 East Texans who enjoyed live country music by rising stars Chris Colston and Don Louis while sampling free hotdogs from the dealership.

The event raised funds for the East Texas Food Bank's Longview Resource Center at a rate of $5 per ticket—providing key support to families in need.

Graduating White Oak High School seniors walked across the stage Saturday at their commencement at the LeTourneau University Belcher Center in Longview — Roughneck valedictorian Addison Milligan and salutatorian Kate Dusek led the ceremony along with top 10% students Collin Wheat, Abby Lobue, Alli Sims and Samantha Dumas.
