To the editor:

The EB Holman Country Music Jamboree returned to the Houghton High School auditorium on October 9. After not having a show in 2020, there were a lot of people who were so excited to get back to great, live country music!

The band Thunder and Lightning put on an awesome show with Mike Urbis as Emcee and lots of talented local artists. It was an extra special show this year, remembering Denise Kinnunen, who was a huge part of putting on the show since the start.

We’re grateful for all the sponsors who make this possible for us. Their support covers stage rental, band expenses, and advertising. Todd Van Dyke of Houghton Community Broadcasting (KBEAR 102.3, WOLV 97.7) and Dick Storm with Eagle Country (WCUP 105.7) are tireless advertisers for us.

Thank you to all who came out. The EB Holman PTO relies on these funds to support our wonderful teachers and students and we’re so grateful for an excellent turnout!
