The Jeff Jamboree was a huge success last Saturday! Town was full of vendors, children getting their faces painted and enjoying free rides from Butch and his beautiful draft team while the Little Sparrow band played lots of great songs all day. There were lots of tractors big and small in the parade with drivers of all sizes and ages. Ryan from the Catskill Outdoorsman hosted his annual Watermelon Contest and told me he had about 40 participants! The 1st Presbyterian Church fed lots of people a delicious pancake breakfast too!  The Annual Duck Race was enjoyed not only by the volunteer herders but also by the families watching them in the water. The herders didn’t lose a single duck! Great job by all and a fantastic day for Jeffersonville.
