The Jackson County Art Walk is a week away! We have a wonderful line up with over 60 artists, live music around the square, a special show of art chairs painted by area artists, families, and community organizations. Copies of the map will be available at stops around the square and the Jackson County Courthouse during the Art Walk, but if you would like a preview, the documents are below for you to view.
Also during the Art Walk...
Jackson Heights High School Student Council will be hosting a free will donation hotdog dinner to raise money for a new dance floor.
There will be a drop box for Jackson County Tools 4 School donations, which go to help children in our community get the supplies they need for the new school year. They are still in need of highlighters, pump hand sanitizer, blue pens, black pens, scientific calculators, and some other supplies.
