This 1967 photograph shows Leona Hayes (producer) signing contract for the 1967 Mountain Youth Jamboree with Francis Heazel (director), Peter Roda (the Jamboree attorney), and the president of the Jamboree Committee in Hubert Hayes Memorial Log Cabin. 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.
