Blue Spring has been a magnet for the citizens of Jackson County for nearly 200 years. It has been a special place to swim, picnic, relax and play hooky from school. Family reunions, 4th of July celebrations, school outings and church baptisms are all part of the springs story. Come join us as we add to that history.

For some unknown reason, I just happened to attend the last two "Old Timers Days."

I wasn't planning to be there this weekend, but I just might make some plans . . .

That sounds like a great time.

Wish I could be there.

I love hearing peoples story's of how things use to be.

Sludge,
If Madonna does speak in a British accent, I guarantee, I won't be listening.

What would be great would be to get some of the original explorers of Jackson Blue. I've heard many of the stories from the original explorers,and it was pretty interesting
