Like in Hee-Haw, Tommy Wynn serves as both emcee and one of the featured entertainers at the Lakeland Jamboree.
Alicia Pontius collects admission for the Lakeland Jamboree’s Saturday show. On the wall behind her, the Jamboree displays a collection of military uniforms, photos and other memorabilia honoring veterans. Jamboree management asks for more military items to be contributed from the community. All items will be returned.
The Wynns assumed management for owner Teresa Green of Clarksville on March 1.
For a Saturday performance, admission to the Jamboree is $3 for children under 12, $5 for guests over 12, and $7 for reserve seats. Mrs. Wynn said that guests can expect entertainment to last from 7-9:30 p.m.
For the April 5 show, Mrs. Wynn said, “We have three guests tonight, Becky Freeman, Roy Mitchell and Johnny Thompson.” Joining the Wynns on stage with the guests were house musicians Austin Hopson on guitar, Gary Williams on the drums and Bobby McDowell on bass.
“Our little town is in dire need of some activity, and the Lakeland Jamboree is a place for everyone to come in and enjoy some good, clean family fun,” said Mr. Wynn. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps and the Vietnam War, he added, “We have plenty of patriotic music to honor veterans.”
