I never knew it by any other name than “The Loggers Jamboree.” First time I remember going was 1960.

the guy on the end with the hat looks like Herb Punkin, next to him looks like Scotty McSwain. I’m probably wrong, but i agree with Judy, Tommy probably knows most of them.

Kathy Hilton yes, does look like it.

Rick Priest
Kathy Hilton yes! Scotty McSwain- my 5th grade teacher!

I could be wrong, but back in 1976 it was called the north fork, loggers jamboree, that’s the only thing I’ve ever known it by
