FrontierVillageStageCoachCloseJamestown (CSi) Tourists at Frontier Village in Jamestown in 2014 have been fewer, with a few weeks remaining  in the present tourism season.

Frontier Village is open with reduced hours in September, closing around sunset each day.

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Jamestown Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund said so far this season there have been 400 few cars coming though the gate, compared to last year.

He pointed out a late spring and rainy weather may have hampered the attendance at the beginning of the season.

Swedlund pointed out that a number of events this coming weekend, should draw not only local people, but also tourists to Jamestown.

Those include this Saturday Sept 13, 2014, the Elvis  Singing Contest at Frontier Village from 1-5 p.m. including a  concert with “Big Elvis,”  at the amphitheater.  To participate in the contest, contact the Frontier Village at FrontierVillage2013@outlook.com.

Also Saturday, the 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse Open House from 1-5-p.m. along with, at that time, the Ft. Seward Encampment, and later Saturday the Jamestown Arts Center’s Oktoberfest, from 5:30-p.m. to 9:30-p.m., at the Stutsman County Fairgrounds.
