Card of Thanks

 

The High Desert Fiddlers would like to thank all the folks who lent a hand to make the Country Music Jamboree successful.  2008 marked the 25th consecutive year the High Desert Fiddlers have hosted an event in Harney County.  From the fiddle contest to jamboree, steady streams of musicians have trekked to our community to share their talents.  We thank them all for the delight they bring.

Thank you to KZZR/KQHC, the Burns Times Herald, Harney County Fair, Don Slone, Carrie Winstead, Jack Hutchins, Glenda And Carlos Larson, Jim Withee, Ye Olde Castle, Meathook Restaurant, Elkhorn Café, Apple Peddler, Glory Days Pizza, the Merchant's Association, Harney County Chamber of Commerce, Chamber Music Society, and Country Lane Quilts.

Participation from the Oregon Old Time Fiddlers Association is paramount to the success of the Jamboree.  Special thanks go to Lew Holt, Alice Holt, Larry Gallagher and Leroy Newport for the workshops they hosted.  Extra effort was put forth by Art and Rhea Bigelow, Ali Swartwood, Art and Charlotte Bigelow and Bea Johnson.

The food service provided by Pat Albertson and Terri Lee was exceptional.  Soundman Red McWilliams was marvelous.  The contribution of labor from Merlin LaChapelle and the Sherriff's Parole and Probation Work Crew was a lifesaver.

Many thanks go to the anonymous donor who sent the cash contribution.  What a wonderful surprise it was and it ensured the financial success of the jamboree.

The following folks are the High Desert Fiddlers and friends. It is their contributions of time and energy and sage advice which make the Jamboree click.  Joe and Micky Enneberg, Dennis and Dona Townsend, Walt Cooper, Ruel and Margaret Teague, Julia Milleson, Rose and Wayne Johnson, Joan Suther, Don and LaWanda Williams, George and Hilda Sahlberg, Rose Roberts, Billie Lanier, John Borelli, Paul Hyland, Darlene Wingfield, Paula Otley, Darlene Austin, Annie Schlupe, Pauline Braymen, Jeremy Hamlington, Janet Yekel, Jim Rhodes, Roy Hair, Pearl and Grover Heinz, Mark Mayo and Jim Schultz.

Everyone give yourself a pat on the back.  You are terrific.  Thank you.
