"We think of it as a cross between a Celtic fest and a family reunion - maybe with a lot of family you haven't met," said Marcille Wallis of Celtic Heritage Productions. Attendees are welcome to camp overnight at the ranch or simply stay for the day. The 6th Annual Celtic Family Jamboree kicks off Friday at the Sertoma Youth Ranch in Brooksville. Those looking to shop or whet their appetite can visit the "Trading Post" arts and crafts village and the "Food Round-Up" serving up regional culinary favorites and libations. "Pay to ride" activities include guided safari-bus tours, amphibious-vehicle rides, swamp buggy rides and camel rides. Additional entertainment includes Tino Wallenda and his high wire act, educational presentations by snake handler Jim Mendenhall and birds of prey expert Lady Kitty, along with a juggling and variety show.įor kids, there is face painting, a petting farm, pony rides, arts and crafts and a junior obstacle course. Highlights are the Florida-raised and Nashville-based singer, Mean Mary aka Mary James (first and second place winner in the 2017 Will McLean Best New Florida Song contest ), along with regional favorites Thomas Wynn and the Believers, Eli Mosley, The Hummingbirds and Have Gun, Will Travel. This year's offerings include several bands playing live music on two stages. "It was a pretty good event for us," Campbell said, adding that the guided bus and amphibious vehicle ranch tours of the ranch sold out quickly.
