Jackson American Legion Post 158 is sponsoring a special concert next month from a famous U.S. Air Force jazz ensemble.
The Shades of Blue of Mid-America group of 18 performers will be at the new Jackson High School events center at 7 p.m. Feb. 11. The doors open at 6:15 p.m.
The free tickets are now available at Schnucks, the Cash-Book Journal, Jones Drug Store, Country Mart and Horst Pharmacy.
Legion spokesman David Ludwig said the group will entertain for a couple of hours with a patriotic theme. Ludwig has been working with the ensemble out of Scott Air Force Base to make a trip to Jackson on their way to Three Rivers Community College the next night.
