LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lake County Horse Council is launching a new event, the Jamboree Weekend.
Beginning Friday, Jan. 17, at Fritch Hall in the Lake County Fairgrounds in Lakeport, the Country Jamboree – Barbeque Dinner will offer an evening of delicious food and great music with the dinner proceeds benefiting the Lake County Horse Council and Westside Community Horse Park.
Happy hour takes place from 5 to 6 p.m., with dinner from 6 to 9 p.m.
Enjoy a barbecue tri-tip and chicken dinner catered by Lakeview Market along with live music from the fantastic Tom Drinnon, best known for his authentic country sound and versatile range.
Born in Lakeport, Drinnon moved to Nashville at the young age of 23 and was immediately signed with a major management company. From there he went out on the road performing across the nation with many well-known country artists including Carrie Underwood, Randy Travis, Vince Gill, and Tim McGraw, to name a few.
Tickets are $45 per person or $400 for a table of eight – which includes wine, appetizers and a personal server – and can be purchased from Eventbrite through the Lake County Horse Council Facebook page.
The fun continues from 2 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18, when the Horse Council hosts its fourth annual January Jamboree – Equine & Wine, a horse expo and entertainment event at Fritch Hall.
The January Jamboree networks local equestrians with businesses, events and vendors as well as providing educational information for children and adults alike.
The free event will feature food and drinks, wine tasting, tack swap, a raffle and live music with Tom Drinnon.
Vendors will include multiple different horse groups and clubs, boarding and training facilities, tack stores and local businesses. Vendor space is available; the cost is $45 for a 10-foot by 10-foot space.
The Lake County Horse Council’s mission is to support the horse industry in Lake County.
The group puts on safety events, provides educational scholarships to young equestrians, hosts social events and serves as a liaison for equine advocacy with local government agencies.
