By Brian Gerau, Executive Director, Jackson Chamber of Commerce

With our recent run of bad weather I know several members and businesses [of the Jackson Chamber of Commerce] have had damage to their homes/business.

Main Street, not Wall Street, We Make The Difference?

Wes Wade

Artist Spotlight

Featured Artist:  Powder Mill

Powder Mill and Their Unique Story
By Becky Davenport

For one local band, heritage is the focus. Build around the roots of several music genres, Powder Mill plays their self-proclaimed "Hillbilly Slopbucket Rock." In an interesting and quirky way, this band has incorporated their own twist on an old thing - making their name in music a strong one. They bring their style and pizzaz to the area, as well as travelling with other bands across the country making their name in the music industry.
