In 1948 there was a grand festival in El Cajon, in mid October, called "All Western Days". There were lots of crafts, food, fun, entertainment and dancing for all. Over $20,000 was raised for the purchase of the property on Ballard Street and the building of Holy Trinity School.
In 1949, with the presence of stars like Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Gabby Hayes, and Jimmy Durante, "All Western Days" raised over $90,000 for Holy Trinity School and over $10,000 for the El Cajon City Council youth outreach. Over 100,000 people were estimated to have descended on El Cajon that weekend.
This years theme, "It's Patriotic Time in 2009", is rallying the community together for plenty of fun right here in the heart of El Cajon as well as supporting our troops and their families through programs like Operation Home Front. The Cajon Valley Jamboree is just as committed now as it was in 1948 in bringing the City of El Cajon and fostering communities spirit.
It takes many committed people and lots of dedicated hours to put together a community event of this magnitude. The planning and preparation have been underway since August. We are truly grateful for everyone who has been involved in preparing and planning this years festival. We would also like to thank the many businesses for their support.
As always, Holy Trinity is here to serve the community.
Thank you for being a part of this years festival.
