Origins: The Country Bear Jamboree has its roots in, of all places, a northwestern ski resort. Or at least the original concepts for one.

You see, Mineral King, California was the home of a proposed ski resort that Walt Disney hoped to build. The Country Bear Jamboree was conceived of as an attraction for the resort, developed in large part by Imagineer Marc Davis (based on an original concept of Walt's). Sadly, plans for the resort fell through, but the Country Bear Jamboree was felt to be such a good idea that it was incorporated into the opening day plans for the Magic Kingdom.
Updates: 1984 saw the debut of The Country Bear Christmas Special, which has since played during every holiday season.

This proved so popular that a summer-time follow up, The Country Bear Vacation Hoedown, was introduced in 1986.
