Each year, the members of the Chuckwagon Association of the West get together for a "Jamboree". It's a chance to say thanks to our loyal guests and a chance to swap bean recipes with the other chuckwagon groups. This year, for the first time ever, the Jamboree will be held in Branson, Missouri, at Branson's Circle B Theatre! Each night will feature a different cowboy menu, with a different slate of performers, and different special guests! Some folks have asked how this may be different from prior Jamborees. 1. We seat a maximum of about 370 guests, so you will get a closer, more intimate experience than some past Jamborees. 2. Because of our smaller number of seats, we are making 4 Jamboree show nights available, and offering different meals and special acts, to encourage folks to come to all 4 shows. 3. We are pleased to offer reasonably-priced tickets that are a bargain compared to other Branson shows, with a full meal included each night -- and a huge discount on the fourth night's tickets! About 3 hours of entertainment are scheduled for each night. 4. Doors open at 4:15 PM with free popcorn and cowboy movies. This year's lineup is as follows: October 24 Sunday 1. Riders of the Circle B (Branson) 2. Circle B Cowboys (Black Hills) 3. Dusty Rogers (speaking on Roy Rogers Riders Club rules) 4. Bar –D Wranglers October 25 Monday 1. Flying W Wranglers 2. Circle B Cowboys (Black Hills) 3. John Wain (John Wayne impersonation) 4. Bar –D Wranglers October 26 Tuesday 1.Flying J Wranglers 2. Bar –J Wranglers 3. Johnny Lonestar (rope & gun tricks- America's Got Talent top 10 finalist) 4. Flying W Wranglers October 27 Wednesday 1. Riders of the Circle B (Branson) 2. Flying J Wranglers 3.
