Havelock Country Jamboree – back in 2021
Fans,
To Those Who Love the Jamboree,
It was a sad day when they announced “No large gatherings until after Aug. 31st.” We sincerely hoped that the jamboree was going to be the “shining” light amidst all this uncertainty…. and we would be celebrating the end of the Corona virus….all together – friends and family – but this was not to be.
Not this year.
That was the Dream and we were actually quite close to achieving our goals – all of you supported us! – and we forged ahead armed with the knowledge that all of you – did NOT want us to give up! You urged us on ….. you gave us the strength and the courage “NOT TO GIVE UP!” THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
And now, it’s that same strength, that when we were literally knocked to the ground, that when we got up, gave us the courage to dust ourselves off – and start to talk about our “new” plan! And we want to share this with you.
Simply put, when you book artists to perform you must show that you are serious in your “offer” to them – so you must make a large deposit to secure their commitment and legal contracts are signed. Once signed, there’s no turning back.
So many contracts have been signed – all we can do is pray that these artists are able to commit to NEXT years’ show date instead – it’s a good thing that we are all in this together. Jen, our manager, has been busy on the phones contacting our agents and artists…..and we seem to have good news to report!
Everyone seems great with postponing until next year!!
So, we’re ON – our commitment now is to 2021!!! We are busy! (from our homes!) – making new arrangements and plans – designing a new brochure and revamping our website – you can watch us “rebuild” the Jam! Our artists are excited! We hope your enthusiasm stays strong…..we are on a new adventure – let’s make it a fun one!! Please, stay connected to us through our social media. Together we stand strong – Together, we will see our JAMBOREE survive this! We need you.
And what we wish for everyone is this: STRENGTH – AN UNPARALLELED necessity for survival. In challenging times, when it seems we have nothing left, strength is the prevailing quality that somehow sees us through.
Some people find it in prayer, others in philosophy – and a lot find strength in our connection to friends and family. It is also found in the MUSIC of our lives…..MUSIC lives in our very souls.
So, it’s time for a “new” dance!! Let’s create it together! Just follow the music…… BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE
And it won’t be long before you hear those famous words – from the TWIN STAGES – “LET THE SHOW BEGIN!!!!!”
Happy Havelock! See you in 2021! And please, let’s not blame anyone for what has happened….. no one wanted this. Our local politicians worked so closely with us….they wanted the Jamboree to happen too.
Thanks to all of you! We all did our best! And that’s all we can do! Now, we need to STAY SAFE!! STAY HOME!! And STAY STRONG!!!
