She is also one of the organizers of the Jamboree.

Pottle says they have invited performers from south of their town.

To date, there are 6 invited guest performers who will take part.

They are from Happy Valley, Goose Bay and North West River.

Pottle says Jock Campbell, Mina Campbell, Scott Russell, Lloyd Goudie, Mike Howell, and Gary Mitchell will be performing.
