This 1963 photograph, taken by Asheville Citizen-Times photographer June Glenn, Jr. (1921-2006), shows Vickie (Honeycomb) Carter, age 7 and Linda Mary Carter, age 9 who performed in the Mountain Youth Jamboree April 18-20th. The Carters were from Scotts Creek School near Sylva, North Carolina. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University.
