==Fun Facts and Trivia==
* According to a plaque located about the Country Bear Jamboree’s main stage, the Jamboree was founded by Ursus H. Bear who lived from 1848 until 1928. In the attraction's backstory, "after a restful hibernation, (Ursus)rounded up his musically inclined kinfolk and friends to put on a down-home celebration" <ref name= "Korkis"/>.
* Grizzly Hall (the home of the Country Bear Jamboree) was built in 1898<ref> http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QEBR616wZSk/THse0p5iHGI/AAAAAAAACNc/W3QVc-iescE/s1600/IMG_9293.JPG </ref>.

* According to the Bear Band Serenade Demo, Zeke was originally to play percussion<ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAR-L_iKKJI </ref>.
