Some questions have come up about visitors on the day of the closing arena show. Below
are comments I received from Jay Best, our Jamboree coordinator
I will continue to check on the status of visitors at the National Jamboree for
the July 31 arena show, but this is off of the National Web Site.
It states, (and I quote):
"Any visitors on July 31 are strongly urged to arrive as early in the
day as possible. The Jamboree will be required to close the gates to the Fort when the
capacity for the Arena Show is reached, and no more visitors will be able to enter the
property. It is highly recommend that visitors choose another day to visit the Jamboree
that will be less crowded, as the 100th Anniversary Arena Show will also be broadcast to
council events and via the internet."
As far as I can see, if you are on Base, Fort A.P. Hill, you will be
"able" to attend the arena show. If you get there late, or do not get
on the Base, you better find a TV close-by and watch.
I will continue to check to make sure I am correct. In the mean time I
hope that helps.
