In the grand, pine-scented state of Oregon, where waterfalls gush like spilled milk and volcanoes sleep like giant, grumpy cats, resides an exuberant legion of kiddos who love to dance. These Oregonian munchkins, let's call them the "Jiggy Jamborees," are as diverse as the state's landscape and as lively as the rushing Rogue River. The Jiggy Jamborees, led by their jolly mascot, Jamboree Joe, a high-spirited sasquatch with the soles of a seasoned salsa dancer, express their joy in the most magical way – through dance! When they start to boogie, even the Doug Fir trees seem to wiggle their roots to the rhythm. Now, don't be mistaken, Jamboree Joe isn't your typical sasquatch. He doesn’t stomp around, terrifying hikers and gobbling up huckleberries. No, sir! He's got a disco ball for a heart and music in his furry, bigfoot veins. With a twirl of his toe and a swish of his tail, he guides the kids through the steps, twirls, and jumps. Jamboree Joe and his Jiggy Jamborees share their infectious energy from the coastal towns of Astoria to the high desert plains of Bend. Like a burst of sunshine through the Portland rain, they light up the Beaver State with their enchanting moves and boundless spirit. Whether they're hip-hopping on haystacks, bopping in barnyards, or grooving in the shadow of Mount Hood, these Oregonian kids sure know how to spread the joy. So, if you ever find yourself in this state of marvelous mountains and twinkling rivers, join the fun, shake a leg and laugh as the Jiggy Jamborees teach you the sasquatch shuffle!
