Jumbo Jamboree had a good turnout on its first day for the first ever Jamboree held at Community Health Professionals on Thursday. The Jamboree continues Friday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at CHP, 1200 S. Main.

FABrehab, also located in the building, cosponsored the event which included many activities for young and old alike.

There was kettle corn and kona ice to buy, hotdogs to be had, a book sale, an animal display, bounce house, a "garage sale" inside, fresh fruits and vegetables to purchase, face painting...a circus without the elephants.

Any money earned will benefit CHP hospice care. Also, employees are on hand to explain the services of CHP and FABrehab.
