2010 Where the Rivers Meet Country Bluegrass Jamboree

We have had our first few meetings and everything is a go for another banner Jamboree. Cathy and Barry OBrien have the bands booked and everyone is chomping at the bit to attend. Some of our new bands this year are Lone Spur from Francois Lake, Let ‘er Rip from down in Chetwynd and Livin’ Country from the province of Alberta as well as Out of the Blue from Quesnel. A lot of our old favorites are coming too, the likes of JJ and the Kountry Kin, Wildwood, Country ‘n Stuff and many more. It will be a great lineup of both country and bluegrass, and be sure to put on your dancing shoes, I don’t think you will be sitting in your seat for long when the music starts. I want to personally thank Barry and Cathy for taking over this daunting task, it is not as easy as it sounds to get everyone booked and scheduled to everyone’s satisfaction.

Calls are coming in for advance tickets already. The price for advance tickets will be the same price as last year. In these economic hard times it is not easy for everyone to afford to go places and we wanted to make it easier for you to attend. The cost for advance tickets is $30.00 per person till April 21, 2010 and at the door the cost will be $35.00 or $10.00 per day. Tickets are on sale now and available at Circle S Western Wear in Quesnel or from Colleen 250-992-6290 or Elaine 250-249-5364. For our out of town visitors, please give us a call and we can make arrangements for you to get your tickets.

As per usual, there will be a concession all four days and the ever present vendors in the lobby. We have new vendors coming this year with musical instruments and all sorts of interesting items for sale. The program is being put together as we speak and for the price of $2.00 you have a chance to win a number of wonderful prizes. The child’s instrument give away will be taking place again this year, it is always a big thrill to see the look on the winner’s face. Last years recipient’s look is still engraved in my mind.

I will try and put another update closer to the date to keep everyone informed.

Yours in Music
