Supposedly there was a Samboree in Shreveport at the State Fair Grounds April 9-12. I never saw any advertisement in paper or on TV or radio. Son't know if it happened or not.
Yes, it happened and had good attendance according to some friends who attended. We were on the east coast in Delaware & New Jersey that weekend.
I've never heard of a state samboree being advertised in local media. Likely any advertising would cost significantly more than the event budget could stand.
States rely on local Good Sam chapters spreading the word. Some do put out flyers at area Camping World stores and RV dealers.
