Parmalee recently made history when its multi-week #1 smash "Carolina" became the longest
climbing single by a duo or group in the 24-year history of the Billboard Country Airplay Chart.
Parmalee is also the first multi-member country act to garner a #1 single on both the Billboard Country
Airplay and Mediabase/ Country Aircheck charts since Florida Georgia Line.
"Carolina" was recently certified GOLD (for over 500,000 in sales) by the RIAA.
In its eighth year, the jamboree took advantage of the Wood County Fair not booking a concert. The
jamboree is the weekend before the start of the fair.
A Cornhole Classic contest is also planned with a 40-team limit and $500 in prizes. For more information,
