Jamboree Craft Winners
c chorus W
The Community Chorus returned to the Jamboree stage Friday, and the group performed patriotic songs with a special tribute to veterans with the theme What the World Needs Now is Love. Clogging, dancing and singing marked the event, and local AmVets members distributed hundreds of donated American flags to the crowd.
