Bicentennial pageant presents Jackson County history The Jackson County Fair, carnival, pool, workshops, Bicentennial celebra- tions, and jobs comprised many of the summer activities for BCHS students. Celebrations for the Bicentennial were carried out through the summer. The citizens of Jackson County produced a bicentennial program called ‘Star Spangled Days” in which many students participated. The program depicted the history of Jackson County and included such scenes as the first hanging in the county. Many students participated in 4-H and FFA competition at the Jackson County Fair. Several participants also placed high in state competition. Other popular summer pastimes in- cluded swimming, camping, and softball.
