Megan Eddy is the recreation director who has worked with a phenomenal group of ladies to make all of the fun happen for the home. In the last five years, they have developed relationships with people and groups in the community to provide for opportunities and experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was difficult to pick three organizations that we wanted to award,\u201d said Eddy in introducing the award recipients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oregon Jamboree was selected for providing a one-of-a-kind country music experience to the residence of the Oregon Veterans\u2019 Home. Many of the veterans want to attend the Oregon Jamboree but, due to limitations, are not be able to attend the three-day outdoor premier country music festival in Sweet Home, Oregon. Shamek stepped forward in bringing a summer concert series that has provided a total of eight musical performances over the last two years. Many artists have reached back out to perform again and have even gone above and beyond to provide one-on-one concerts for veterans unable to leave their room to attend the summer concerts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oregon Jamboree also assisted the recreation team in establishing a headliner for their third annual Fourth of July Freedom Music Festival event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thankful and admire the folks at the Oregon Jamboree for that,\u201d continued Eddy in her announcement. \u201cThank you for making each summer a music filled event!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
