Celebrating the History of Shasta Dam
 and its Communities

The Shasta Damboree Began as Hell's Gulch Days in 1939
 and was originally held to raise money to start construction
of our areas schools. The second celebration was held to raise
 money to buy a fire truck for our growing communities.
World War II brought an end to the festivities and it wasn't
 until 1948 that "Hells Gulch" was revived. This time it was
 a mass celebration  to commemorate the completion
of the $150,000 water system by the newly formed Shasta Dam
 Area Public Utility District.

In 1951, Under the organization of Mrs. Cleo Tenney,
The civic organizations were banded together and
incorporated under the name :The Shasta Damboree Delegation".

 Many events have been added through the years,
but the overall goal of the Damboree has remained the same.
 To celebrate our unique history and provide fun
 for our area's families.
