Love at the Jamboree

Three times a week, a tight knit group of senior citizens play old-time country, bluegrass and gospel at the Heavener, Howe and Poteau jamborees in southeastern Oklahoma. A widow and divorcee, Dana Faulkner had all but resigned herself to spending her retirement caring for her horses and cuddling with her dogs until she signed up to sing one night at the jamboree and recognized the name of an old, forgotten neighbor.

    I can’t find any information online where the jamborees are actually held and I would like to go listen. Any help?
