FORT KENT, Maine — Organizers of the 2018 UMFK Fiddlers’ Jamboree have put out a call to area musicians and entertainers to participate in one of the largest jam sessions, which has been held annually on the University of Maine at Fort Kent campus.
The jamboree, which has become a St. John Valley tradition, will be held on Sunday, Feb. 11, 2018, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in UMFK’s Fox Auditorium.
