Kid Rock keeps the party going at JITH
By TIFFANY BUMGARDNER
Times Leader Staff Writer
MORRISTOWN — As night fell over
Jamboree In The Hills Friday, the party
was just getting started at the “Super Bowl
of Country Music.”
The beat of the music reverberated
through the air over the Morristown venue
as fans danced to Alan Jackson waiting for
the show closer, Kid Rock. Many fans
were out early in the day purchasing their
Kid Rock merchandise and finding their
spots for the evening show.
“Kid Rock is all I care about,” said
Mickaela Garener of Moundsville, who
stood with her friends front and center
before the stage. “I have seen him in con-
cert before and love everything about his
music and his show.”
Kid Rock’s performance also brought
out some fans who might not otherwise
have made the trip.
Corey Laug of Caldwell has never really
cared for country music, and prefers Kid
Rock’s southern rock style to that of typi-
cal Jamboree music.
“I am a big fan of all of Kid Rock’s
music and I am really excited to see him
perform again live,” Laug said.
However, St. Clairsville resident Joyce
Underwood — an old-school country
music fan — said she preferred Jackson’s
performance.
“I have been coming to Jamboree for 30
years,” said Joyce Underwood of St.
Clairsville. “I like pure country.”
For other fans, the style of music didn’t
really matter — they were just there for
the party.
“I don’t like Kid Rock,” said Mason
Shumard. “But I feel his concert is going
to be awesome.”
Fans danced, sang and waited in a long
line to get near the stage for photos and up-
close view of their favorite performers,
with the longest lines of the day being for
Jackson and Kid Rock.
Cheers, enthusiasm and the party atti-
tude that sets Jamboree In The Hills apart
from other events welcomed Kid Rock as
he took the stage and remained strong
throughout his performance. For most
Jamboree fans, Kid Rock was the “cherry
on top” of another Friday night in the hills.

MORRISTOWN —
When country music super-
star Brad Paisley takes the
stage at Jamboree In The
Hills tonight, he will have
one goal in mind — help-
ing the people of the state
that launched his life and
career.
The Glen Dale native
said he feels a “ton” of loy-
alty to West Virginia and
the Ohio Valley, so he
wants to make a positive
difference for the people of
the region. In particular,
Paisley is focused on help-
ing the victims of massive
flooding that occurred in
southern West Virginia in
June.
“People in my position
who have the ability to
speak up and help have to
do something if they can to
fix the problem,” Paisley
told The Times Leader by
phone on Thursday.
Paisley toured the affect-
ed areas of the Mountain
State and was so moved by
the devastation he saw that
he donated $100,000 to the T-L Photo/ JOE LOVELL
KID ROCK closes out the show Friday before an enthusiastic crowd at Jam-
boree In The Hills.

RESIDENTS OF the Adena Health and Rehabilitation Center enjoy some time
outside, food and music with each other at the third annual Jambo Party for Res-
idents at the facility on Friday.
Adena facility hosts
Jambo party for residents

ADENA – Jamboree In The Hills is a very
popular event in the local area, but not every-
one is able to attend. That’s why Adena
Health and Rehabilitation Center residents
and staff had their own “Jambo” celebration
in the parking lot of the facility on Friday.
“This is our third year doing this. It’s in
honor of Jamboree In The Hills, which is a
big event in the area. We call this the ‘Jambo
Party for the Residents.’ They seem to have a
good time. We always have music, games,
activities for them to do and lots of food. It
gets them outside. We’ve got a modified
‘redneck run’ we do with the wheelchairs and
they get prizes,” said Thomas Foster, execu-
tive director of Adena Health and Rehabilita-
tion Center.
“A lot of local businesses know we do this
Jambo Party for the residents, and they usual-
ly start calling us in advance asking if we are
going to do the party and offer to donate any-
thing we may need. It’s really nice. The com-
munity gets involved, and it’s a great time for
the residents and families,” Foster added.
Kasich to speak at NAACP
CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio Gov. John
Kasich won’t speak at the Republican
National Convention where Donald
Trump is set to become his party’s presi-
dential nominee, but he will speak to the
NAACP national convention that Trump is
bypassing.
Emmalee Kalmbach, a Kasich spokes-
woman, confirmed Friday to The Associ-
ated Press that Kasich will speak in
Cincinnati on Sunday, the day before the
RNC begins across the state in Cleveland.
Kasich has declined to endorse Trump
and doesn’t plan to take part in GOP con-
vention floor proceedings in his home
state, where Kasich won the GOP primary
and had hoped to challenge Trump in a
contested convention before the business-
man’s delegate lead became insurmount-
able.
Trump irritated NAACP leaders earlier
this week by turning down their invitation,
citing scheduling conflicts with the
Republican convention. Presumptive
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is
scheduled to speak to the NAACP on
Monday.
“The governor considers it a great privi-
lege for Ohio to host the NAACP’s nation-
al convention, and he is honored to speak
at their event,” Kalmbach said by email.
Gov. Pence wins Trump’s vote
WASHINGTON (AP)
— After frenzied, final
decision-making, Donald
Trump announced Indiana
Gov. Mike Pence as his
running mate Friday,
adding an experienced
politician with deep Wash-
ington connections to the
Republican presidential
ticket.
Trump’s pick was aimed
in part at easing some
Republicans’ concerns
about his temperament and
lack of political experi-
ence. Pence spent 12 years
in Congress before being
elected governor and his
demeanor is as calm as
Trump’s is fiery. While
some conservatives are
skeptical of Trump’s politi-
cal leanings, Pence has
been a stalwart ally on
social issues.
Yet Pence is largely
unknown to many Ameri-
cans. And his solidly con-
ventional political back-
ground runs counter to
Trump’s anti-establishment
mantra.
The two men scheduled
a news conference for Sat-
urday in New York to pres-
ent themselves to America
as the Republican team
that will take on Hillary
Clinton and her Democrat-
ic running mate in Novem-
ber. The duo will head to
Cleveland next week for
the Republican National
Convention.
As Pence arrived for a
private meeting with
Trump Friday, he told
reporters he “couldn’t be
more happy for the oppor-
tunity to run with and serve
with the next president of
the United States.”
In choosing Pence,
Trump appears to be look-
ing past their numerous
policy differences. The
governor has been a long-
time advocate of trade
deals such as NAFTA and
the Trans Pacific Partner-
ship, both of which Trump
aggressively opposes.
Pence also has been critical
of Trump’s proposed tem-
porary ban on foreign
Muslims entering the Unit-
ed States, calling the idea
“offensive and unconstitu-
tional.”
The reaction to the
Pence choice from Repub-
lican officials was over-
whelmingly positive — no
small feat for Trump, given
how polarizing he’s been
within his own party.
“It was a pick that clear-
ly shows he is pivoting to
the general election,” said
GOP chairman Reince
Priebus, who was in the
midst of an interview with
The Associated Press when
Trump announced his deci-
