To the strains of “Happy Trails to You,” Oregon Jamboree fans left the festival grounds one final time Sunday evening, Aug. 3, having celebrated a bittersweet end with some crowd-pleasing performances from Joe Nichols and Jordan Davis.
A weekend of – by Jamboree standards – mild temperatures, ending with a downright comfortable Sunday in the 70s, helped create an atmosphere that Festival Director Robert Shamek described as including “lots of tears and lots of laughs.”
