Fun in Jackson

What do you do when you're about to reach your centennial anniversary? Why, throw a party, of course.

That's exactly what Jackson has been doing since Tuesday night, and the fun won't stop until the annual Homecomers celebration ends Saturday night.

The 99th Homecomers is underway with music, food, contests and fun. Four of the nights feature talent shows, which are not only enjoyable but a great source of pride for the families and friends of the participants.

The event is sponsored by the Jackson Chamber of Commerce and the American Legion. It is for generations of families to come together on downtown streets and the courthouse lawn to have a good time.

If you're looking for something to do on one of these fine summer evenings, find your way to uptown Jackson. You're bound to find something you like at Homecomers. And you'll see the best of small-town life represented in so many good ways.

It's worth the trip.
