NORTH FORK — Longtime resident Claudia Box has been chosen as the 58th annual Mid-Sierra Loggers Jamboree Grand Marshal.
Claudia founded Box Feed in 1980 with her late husband Bern Box. Twenty seven years later, Box Feed is the go-to place for feed and ranch supplies in the mountain area.
With many years under her belt as a North Fork resident, she is always available to lend a helping hand. She is a long time member of the North Fork Boosters and many other community organizations.
Claudia and her family have always been active in the community, and her daughter Leoma was a Mid-Sierra Loggers Jamboree Queen.
“It is a pleasure to honor Claudia this year as the Grand Marshal of the 58th Annual Mid-Sierra Loggers Jamboree,” say organizers. “Claudia’s knowledgeable, hardworking staff at Box Feed is ready to load your hay and feed with a smile so get over there and check out their selection!”
Competitively priced, they carry a large variety of products ranging from pet supplies, hay, Wrangler products, Montana Silver, tack, garden and fencing supplies, chick supplies, gift items, toys, greeting cards, treats and lots more.
