GOOD OLD DAYS A GOOD OL' TIME IN JACKSON

The Jackson Retail Merchants Association's second annual "Good Old Days" event proved fun for all.

Those attending were able to see crafts, taste different foods and, as the name suggests, revisit the "good old days."

There was even a bankrobbery.

As was the case last year "bank robbers" rode into town and staged a daring daylight robbery of Jackson's Capital Bank on courthouse square.

Good Old Days events took place primarily on High Street although some activities were held at the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Station.

Among the activities were wagond rides between the downtown area and the nearby railway station, pony rides, hopscotch contests, horseshoe pitching contests, live music, Native American and contemporary crafts and foods, window displays, an antique tractor show and other traditional festival activities.
