Jericho's Fate Doesn't Matter for Jerichon 2008

(March 21, 2008) Whitfit is a Board Member of the Guardians of Jericho, Inc.

As we wait for official word of Jericho's fate from Carol Barbee (we know its been cancelled on CBS, but CBS-Paramount and Junction are shopping it around to other venues), the Guardians of Jericho want to reaffirm our committment to making Jerichon 2008 a success. We will not allow the cancellation of Jericho to cancel the Jerichon, assuming that enough people are still interested in attending.

Jerichon 2008 may be a chance to show other venues that the TV show is not dead. It has a passionate following, willing to spend money on Ads in publications, Nuts, and travel costs of going to Oakley, Kansas, the location of the fictional Jericho in the series. If Jerichon is huge, and we hope that it will be, it will show the world that we are not just going to go away.

Jericho was a great show and it allowed a great community to develop around it. Yes, it is another sad day for television and Jericho but we still have our community, something they can't take away from us. That community is converging in Oakley for the second time in history on Memorial Day Weekend '08. Hope to see you there.

Thanks,
Whit
