Amador County – The Jackson Business and Community Association announced some upcoming downtown activities and events planned for the coming months.
Main Street Scarecrows that decorate downtown Jackson, each with their own theme, like an Artist or Gold Miner, will be “hanging around” until at least Nov. 5. They are the work of Chris Molinelli and lots of creative 5th graders.
On Monday Oct. 31, the Jackson Lions Club will sponsor the Halloween Costume Parade, starting at 5 p.m., on Main Street in Jackson. “A great and safe place to take the little monsters to collect all that candy nutrition,” said Jackson Business & Community Association’s Patti Busch. “The merchants really stock up.” Trunk or Treat by Calvary Chapel of Amador follows, at a few locations downtown, for trick-or-treating for the children. The Church is seeking candy donations for the event.
The Jackson Veterans’ Day Parade is 10 a.m. Friday, Nov.11, starting on the north side of Main in front of the TSPN offices. American Legion and Charline Buckley are working on the event, which shows “small town life at it’s best,” Busch said. “It’s indicative of why we want to be here… So come out and show your support to our many proud vets and service people.”
Christmas Delights is Friday and Saturday, Nov. 25 & 26 of Thanksgiving weekend, in downtown Jackson. Anyone who would like to be involved is encouraged to contact Jackson Business & Community Association. Busch said: “We would love to have more super cheerful costumed Christmas characters roving the street, and we are also hoping to find a group of 5 or 6 folks who would like to serenade our visitors with holiday tunes.”
The Association will also be looking for homemade cookies to provide Mrs. Santa at Hein and Company Book Store, and also for all the visitors who find there way to the “warming room” in the old Spinco building.
