Preparations in place for Floyd Jamboree (we hope)

From the Clovis News Journal - The Floyd Jamboree will go on this year despite no one showing for Sunday’s auditions, according to Floyd Lions Club Vice President and Jamboree Program Chairman Fred Patterson. He still expected to have a full slate of participants. Floyd New Mexico is about thirty miles east of Portales. There were about 30 participants at the 2011 event. “I’ve already contacted everybody (from last year) and everybody’s told me their plans are to be on the show,” Patterson said. “There are even a few people who know they have conflicted schedules Saturday night, so they plan to be in the show Thursday and Friday.” Patterson said this year’s jamboree will be held March 29-March 31, with the Sunday gospel show April 1.Patterson and Lion’s Club Secretary Paul Benoit said the event sticks strictly to country music but song selections are different every year with the exception of two or three favorites, which audience members request almost every year.
