Midwest Jamboree in New Paris, Ohio a great show
From the Earlham Word Online
Although the following review may seem demanding (and you are free to take it that way), it is in no way an attempt to judge any Earlham group in a contemptuous manner regarding their choice of activity on or off of our fine campus. However, if you don't even consider going to the Midwest Jamboree in New Paris, OH, you are a fool and denying yourself of a great pleasure.
The Midwest Jamboree is the brainchild of Clay Huddleson, a man of whom you may or may not know. Clay is the creator and primary host of Clay's Country Classics, a WECI radio show that runs from midnight to five AM everyday. It is a blend of all different varieties of country music, from the modern folks such as Townes Van Zandt and John Prine to the old classics such as Hanks Williams and the early career of the recently canonized Johnny Cash.
Huddleson, an avid fan and participant in country music culture for many decades has an old church in New Paris, OH, just one and a half miles after the state line on National Road. All you have to do is turn and drive about three minutes into New Paris until you see a sign in red, white, and blue letters reading "Midwest Jamboree". It is right next to the local post office.
The Midwest Jamboree is a perfect experience for any Earlham student to take in. If you are from a culture separated from rural life, you will benefit from seeing the show for yourself (it runs from seven to eleven as well, and you can walk in and walk out as you please). Oh, and another thing, they will all love to have you. They are the nicest bunch of people you could imagine.
So, when you feel like complaining about nothing to do, remember this: it is not that you have nothing to do. You just don't do anything new. So come to the Jamboree. You won't be disappointed.
