The following spring, the third of two scholarship awards were presented at the annual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, thus bringing the amount given by that time to six hundred dollars. At the 1972 Youth Jam boree, Mrs. Hubert Hayes, director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree in Asheville, was the featured speaker. When she closed her speech, she an nounced her gift of a trophy for the oldest song. Also, Mr. and Mrs. Farrell Hughes donated a trophy which is to be presented each year for the most authentic song. Later, they added another trophy, one for the most authentic song by an individual, and the other one for the most authentic song by a group. The 1973 Jamboree also had a large number of participants and was highlighted by the appearance of Luanne Banks, 1973 Miss Mayland and Dorothy and the Scarecrow from Land of Oz, on Beech Mountain. By action of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, tiie amount of scholarship money given at the annual dinner in 1974 was increased by two hundred dollars. This brought the total amount given through Jam boree scholarships to twenty two hundred dollars. Special highlights of the 1974 Jamboree will include the return of Luanne Banks and the appearance of Tina Banks, 1974 Junior Rhododendron Queen. Also there will be two dance teams, one in clogging and the other one in folk, from Mitchell County. On Thursday night, the Parkway Playhouse is to have a special part in the program. Another attraction will be the Tom Koch Family with a Balalaiki Ensemble. The Jamboree has received much interest and support from the beginning, and it is hoped that the program will live on and continue to be a part of life here in our mountain area.
