Jamboree is May 9-10 in Selbyville
No better way to kick off a
beautiful spring season than to en-
joy an evening ofgreat local .mu-
sic and comedy at the Springtime
Jamboree in Selbyville.
This annual program will take
place on either Friday, May 9, or
Saturday, May 10, at the Old Sel-
byville Middle School, which is

Bunky and Dottle Eye providing

For the 21st year, business own-
er, Gerald Hocker of Hooker's Su-
per Center on Rt. 26, is producing
this successful fund-raising event.

ous lure companies, just to name a

land by the Pyle Center. A $10
donation supports this local com-
munity's efforts to provide quality
athletic conditions for its youth
while enjoying a night of enter-
tainment.

boree Boys, along with many oth-
ers.

leased "Little Is Much" project.
Scott Evans will again provide
terrific comedy sketches accom-
panied by George Keen serving as
the emcee.
