The annual Jackson Homecomers celebration is in full tilt and will continue through Saturday with its street fair, special entertainment, talent shows and queen contest. It is an event that represents the best of how Americans celebrate the good things in life.
It has taken two world wars to interrupt the celebration since it started in 1908. That shows how committed folks in Jackson are to the Homecomers event.
For a genuinely good time and an opportunity to visit with friends old and new, a few hours in downtown Jackson is the place to be.
