The fictional town of Jericho, from the hit CBS series, is located near the intersections of three major highways (I-70, Highawy 40, and Highway 83) in Kansas. The town closest to this in the real world is Oakley, and that became the location for the first annual Jericho convention, Jerichon, held September 14 to 16, 2007.

Shaun Daily, who hosts the Las Vegas based internet talk show, ShaunOMac Radio which is hosted on BlogTalkRadio.com attended the event, and broadcast his show live from “Jericho Field”, “Bailey’s Tavern” and other areas around the town. At the opening ceremony on Friday night, Oakley’s mayor read a proclamation declaring that the town would be renamed Jericho for the weekend.

Friday was also Blogtalkradio day at the convention, and the hosts of BTR’s The Two Doctors and Bionic Angels were also on hand to assist Shaun with the logistical aspects of his live broadcast from the remote location. The cast of Jericho was unable to attend the event due to tight filming schedule for the final two episodes, but Daily presented the mayor with a very special gift from them. The mayor was given the back from one of the on-set chairs, which had the Jericho logo on one side, and series star, Skeet Ulrich’s name on the other.
