One of our local veterans, Michael Brewer, a Marine combat veteran of the Vietnam War, who has been a frequent visitor to the Lake Gregory Farmers Market, noted the spectacular venue we have to conduct concerts on the lake, was inspired to bring a well establish concert from Tucson, Arizona; Nam To Sand Jam, that he and some of his fellow veterans in Chapter 106 of Vietnam Veterans of America established 37 years ago in Tucson. As a copyrighted and trademarked name, he had to ask permission of the Tucson organizers to conduct Nam To Sand Jam West in Crestline, Ca. Permission was granted and a leadership team and event manager were selected, and the work begins to launch the inaugural NAM TO SAND JAM WEST at Lake Gregory on the last weekend in September 2025. In March the team will begin the search for bands, vendors and volunteers. Further information or questions can be found by calling MIke Brewer 909-589-0071 or email, “[email protected]”
