Smithville Jamboree Critter Statue

The Smithville Critter is the mascot for Jamboree. The original critter was Charlie McKeown, whose personality inspired the creation of the official mascot of Jamboree. Each year the Critter invites everyone to Jamboree. The Critter commonly uses the phrase "Ya'll Come," urging young and old to come home for Jamboree.

This year, sponsors have the opportunity to donate to help with the creation of a statue of the Critter.

The Jamboree Critter statue will serve as a welcoming figure and community information point, featuring a QR code to inform residents and visitors about upcoming Smithville events, lodging options, restaurants, and all things Smithville.
