Saluda Mountain Jamboree
If you missed the "Ozark Jubilee" you missed a great
performance of music and comedy. On Sunday, Sept.
24th at The Saluda Mountain Jamboree, this Branson
show entertained a group from Larry's Tour Company,
as well as, folks from our area too.
The Kyocera Company held their annual picnic at the
Saluda Mountain Jamboree on Saturday, Sept. 16th.
There were over 200 employees and family members
in attendance who enjoyed the food, games, music
and rides that was provided by "Special Events" out
of Atlanta, GA. The weather was beautiful and after
everyone was tired and full of spare ribs, hot dogs,
and cotton candy, there was an afternoon of BINGO
inside. Everyone agreed that the lawns, grounds and
Jamboree building was a perfect place to have their
annual picnic.
The Jamboree has a great dance with live music
every Saturday night. The Jamboree is also booking
holiday parties, weddings and receptions. Please
