Travel Alberta partnered with Big Valley Jamboree to invite small towns to create their own unique two-minute video on why they should have their very own country music festival.
“This contest is a great opportunity for Alberta’s communities to tell their story and showcase their character and charm,” said Richard Starke, Alberta’s minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation. “These communities have stepped up and showcased their small towns in a big way,” said Panhandle Production’s Larry Werner, producer of Big Valley Jamboree.
The winning community will be recognized at the Growing Rural Tourism Conference in Camrose on April 9.
