PANCAKE BREAKFAST: On Sunday morning June 19, the Erickson Flying Club will be hosting their annual Father's Day Pancake Breakfast. They are always happy to see some Jamboree Campers come for breakfast. It is always delicious and gets us off to a good start on Sunday morning. So if you hear planes overhead it will be Flying Clubs coming from all over to support Erickson.
Cash Draw Tickets-Every year the Jamboree sells raffles tickets. Most Jamboree Families and all Committee members have books of tickets. They can also be found at local businesses. If you would like to buy some contact us through the website. Winning tickets will be drawn on Sunday evening.
50-50's Everyone likes a 50-50 draw and we have two on Saturday and two on Sunday. So be sure to get in on the draw when our people come round.
AUCTIONS -
We have a very large auction, thanks to all the generous donors that continue to support us each year. All donor names are displayed on the item and also on a long list on our message board. They will also be entered on this site under the Sponsor's Page. We have a large variety of items and are very grateful to our donors. We welcome donations to our silent and live auction.
On Saturday night at approxiametly 7:00 pm we have some of the larger items up for auction by a real auctioneer. This is always a lot of fun.
