Over 4,400 people attended the first “Grand Eisteddfod.” The event was held in three separate sessions inside a large pavilion at the old fairgrounds in Jackson.
The Eisteddfod, organized by Eben Jones, was called a “Song Fest” and featured an adjudicator named Daniel Protheroe (above), a well-known Welsh composer and vocalist. More information about Protheroe can be found here.
