With the Burlington Jamboree in its second year, organizers are hoping the event catches on with the public.
Toward that end, they’ve doubled the number of live music acts and secured other types of entertainment as well. How long the event survives in the shadow of ChocolateFest will largely be determined by the success of this year’s festival.
The Burlington Jamboree is among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press. Copies of the newspaper will be available at local retail outlets on Thursday and subscribers will receive the copies with Thursday’s mail.
