Plans beginning for Bicentennial celebrations throughout Madison Co.
View Comments
As the year-long Bicentennial Celebration is set to begin in less than two months for Jackson and Madison County, celebration coordinator Elaine Christian said a plan is coming together to make sure that celebration gets outside the Jackson city limits.
“We’re working with the volunteer fire departments throughout the county and other groups in communities to schedule and plan heritage celebrations for those areas,” Christian said.
Those areas were identified when a group of about 50 people representing the entire county met at the Emergency Management offices at McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport earlier this month to discuss the concept of celebrations throughout the county.

Boutique has been chosen as the new airline for McKellar-Sipes.
On Tuesday, officials with the city of Jackson, Madison County and Boutique Airlines came together for the ribbon cutting ceremony.
The officials came to recognize the airport’s new partnership with Boutique, a commuter airline based in San Francisco, California.
Jackson Mayor Scott Conger says the decision to choose Boutique is a great choice for the community.
“Economically it does the job, allowing people to travel for our prospects, flying into an airport and driving in,” said Jackson Mayor Scott Conger. “Just makes things a lot easier for our citizens and for potential new businesses and new citizens.”
