The Craven Country Jamboree gates are expected to re-open Wednesday.

Camping was opened, then closed, on Tuesday as rain turned the grounds into a muddy mess.

Roughly 100 people were able to make it into the grounds before organizers decided it was just too risky to let more in.

“We had a great start to our morning,” said jamboree spokeswoman Kim Blevins. “Mother Nature had something else in store for us.”

Organizers are hopeful the weather will improve and the jamboree will once again be a success.

There were reports of a number of vehicles being stuck in the mud on the grounds, and some said there trailers were beginning to sink in the muck.

After the gates had been closed, there were a handful of trailers and trucks turned away at the gates. Along the highway leading to Craven, a number of trailers that looked destined for the jamboree could be seen.

People hoping to set-up on Tuesday were being directed to Evraz Place in Regina, where two lots were made available for overnight stays.
