HIGHLANDS Great weather, beautiful girls and cars, marching bands and firetrucks, lots of people, food and fun marked another successful Highlands Jamboree last Saturday. In fact, this one even had a blow-up Spanish Galleon for kids to play on!
The Jamboree is a benefit for the Highlands Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce, but it also celebrates the history of Elena/Highlands and the establishment of its first bank, Highlands State Bank, in 1955.
The all-day event started with a 5K Fun Run/Walk at 7 am, then the parade down Main Street, a Festival at the Elementary School complete with a Little Childrens Pageant, a Car Show, crafts and food booths, and a silent auction.
