Does this always happen at Jamestown? The event is of interest to me, but I want to go to Jamestown anyway, as I am descended from James Mendenhall, for whom the town is named. I didn't make it this year, but would be interested next year, especially if it's at Jamestown. (2 birds with 1 stone)

[DeeRoma]

is there a local page that shows the events? can you select certain towns?
