The 49th annual Smithville Fiddlers’ Jamboree and Crafts Festival would have started tomorrow (Friday, July 3) in the traditional manner had it not been for COVID-19. Instead a 2020 Virtual Jamboree has been held and the winners announced based on social media submissions by competing performers. A special televised program will be featured this weekend on WCTE and DTC 3 TV
In our continuing “Jamboree Special Moments” series from past festivals this week, WJLE today showcases the talents of the Slim Chance Band of Smyrna who won the Old Time Fiddle Band Competition and Harvey Brown Smith of Beechgrove who claimed the Gospel Singing Title among duos, trios, and quartets in 2018 during the 47th Annual Fiddlers’ Jamboree.
