SATURDAY ENTERTAINMENT - 2 P.M. – 12 A. M.
The Cookshack Shakers
A group of musicians got together in the campground two years ago and they play great dance music and get the crowd going both on Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday morning. Phil Wilke from Brandon and John Spaller from Sandy Lake are the regulars, as well as our own Grant Carter on drums. We will see who else accompanies them this year. Please give this band a big hand for these great musicians.

Better Than
A local band from Onanole, led by Rick Waterman will keep you up on the dance floor with their lively music. Welcome back, Rick and the boys.
The Campbell’s

Not necessarily in this order
The Jamboree is fortunate to have these singers join the entertainers on stage. They could be called guest performers or fill-ins. We really like to call them great performers, who are an important part of the Jamboree entertainment roster. They are here to entertain you while a band is setting up so please make them feel welcome when they come on stage.
Lori Larsen, a great singer from Erickson, has been here for us for many years and we thank her a lot.
Kristen Nerbas is a young singer from Brandon. She first sang at the 2011 Jamboree when her cousin Porter Dunn was sponsored. We are sure she will entertain us again this year.
Tammy Wruth is back again and we can look forward to some Father's Day songs. Tammy grew up in the Erickson area and lives in Dauphin now with her husband and new little girl.
Billy Asham has been entertaining crowds for most of his life and we are pleased to present him to our 2013 Jamboree audience.
ADAM WIEBE from Brandon is back for the second time. He has been taking guitar lessons since he received a guitar from Randy and Marcie Halliday in 2011. He has been practicing two songs for us and we look forward to hearing him on Sunday morning.
Here you have it, the 2013 list of performers at the Little Valley Jamboree in Erickson, June 15 and 16.
We would just like to remind everyone that every musician, every singer has donated their time and talent to entertain you. So, please show them your thanks with lots of applause.
Thank you all for putting this date on your calendar and be sure to come and say hello.
