Woodstock Jamboree During the second annual jamboree in September, 1982, the square rang out with the sounds of "Tom Dooley" and "Scotch and Soda" when the Kingston trio headlined the entertainment. Scheduled for two days, the 1982 jam­ boree also featured Gail and Kentucky Gold, Roni Stoneman and Kenny Price of telvisions' "Hee Haw," WGN radio personality Bob Collins and Daly and his Sundowners. The first day, when admission was free, was billed as a "jamboree preview" featuring performances by Stoneman plus the first annual Texas Chili Cook-off. The next day, Collins was the master of ceremonies for a program featuring the Kingston Trio, Price, Daly and his group and Gail. On that day, the square was closed and admission was by a but­ ton designed by "Dick Tracy" artist Rick Fletcher. The stage was set on the square between Buschkopf's Pharmacy and the State Bank of Woodstock. In addition to the concessions by the Woodstock Jaycees, Woodstock Business and Professional Women's Club, Woodstock Chamber of Com­ merce and Industry, Woodstock High School Backers Club, Easter Seal Socie­ ty for McHenry County, Lions Club, Woodstock Softball Club, and the Woodstock Little League, the event featured specialty samplings from Woodstock residents entitled "A Nibble of Woodstock." Appearances by Daly and the Sun­ downers and Chicago Sting soccer mascot Stanley Sting highlighted the se­ cond annual jamboree in August 1983. In addition to Daly, there were other faces and activities familiar from sum­ mers past. Two stages for the entertainers were set up on the square bandstand and on East Jackson Street. The event kicked off when Burton Jones, a frequent performer in the Jailhouse Saloon of the Old Courthouse (Continued from Page 18) Inn, took the main stage on East Jackson Street. He was followed by Gail and Kentucky Gold and then by Daly and his group. The focus of entertainment in the afternoon shifted back and forth bet­ ween the main stage and the center stage on the bandstand, featuring per­ formances by Daly, Gail, Jones and the Strong Family String Band, a well- known bluegrass band from Crystal Lake. Entertainment for children included several activities on the square like sw­ ings, pony rides, a "Moon Walk,"the "Baby Scrambler" a dunk tank and other games sponsored by the Woodstock Jaycees. An appearance by Stanley Sting highlighted the Chicago Sting Soccer Skill Shoot on the west end of Cass Street. The shoot was chaired by Nels Dalquist of Crystal Lake, a member of the Soccer Hall of Fame. It was spon­ sored for the benefit of the Easter Seal Society for McHenry County by the Sr- ing, McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts of Woodstock and the Edward Hines Lumber Co. of Crystal Lake. No jamboree would be complete without "A Nibble of Woodstock" and eating establishments offered samples of their fare at various locations around the square. Concessions also were operated by some local organizations. > To complement the food, two beer gardens were operated in cordoned areas on Van Buren and Cass streets. Beer was allowed only inside the gardens, where minor children were not permitted to enter. Alcoholic beverages were not permitted anywhere else on the square. In conjunction with the jam­ boree, the promotional group also spon­ sored a photography contest with the theme "Wonderful Woodstock." The show was an added attraction which contributed to another successful jam­ boree and made everyone look forward to the 1984 edition of the event. Santa's Village (Continued from Page 75) the park is divided into three themed areas: Coney Island, Old McDonald's Farm and Santa's Village. The Skyliner chair lift provides an overflow of Coney Island as you glide along the tree tops 50 feet up. "Coney features our larger thrill rides," said Holliman. The major attractions include the Swiss Toboggan roller coaster, the Tarantula and the ever popular Tilt-a- Whirl. Also highlighted is the Astroliner space travel simulator and the Dundee Sizzler 500 bumper car raceway. A ride on the only "horse powered" carousel in the Chicagoland area is one of the features at Old McDonald's Farm. "Here our guests can mingle with the animals," said Holliman. "They can feed a goat, pet a llama, ride a pony or watch the antics of Sassy, our South American monkey. The farm features several animal rides and nearly 50 animals, both exotic and domestic." Among the brightly colored, alpine- designed buildings of the Santa's Village section of the park is situated a giant revolving Christmas tree with ornaments people can ride. Also included is Santa's Express Train, which journeys through the uncharted wilderness of the park. Guests can also lend a hand to the Village Fire Department in helping save a burning house.
