3rd Annual Clarke-Mobile Gas Chili Cook-Off
Hospitality Area Sponsor
Antique Auto Show Sponsor
Entertainment Sponsor
On Saturday, November 7th, the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its 27th Annual Fall Festival. Our goal for this year’s event was to increase attendance and to make it our biggest and best Fall Festival ever!
This year’s event attracted thousands of spectators to the Jackson area who in turn brought added revenue to our city. Downtown Jackson was filled with live entertainment, over sixty Market in the Street vendors, over twenty food vendors, the Third Annual Clarke-Mobile Gas Chili Cook-Off, over 100 participants in the Bob Smith Memorial Antique Auto Show, over ten Motorcycle Show enthusiasts, several lumberjack competitors and well over 500 children showed for the Kid’s Games.
Jackson’s local businesses make Fall Festival possible through their financial support.
Without the sponsorship of our member businesses, the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce would not be able to organize an event of this magnitude. Special thanks to our Chili Cook-Off sponsor Clarke-Mobile Gas, Antique Auto Show Sponsor Aaron’s, Entertainment Sponsor New Era Cap Company, Hospitality Area Sponsor Brooks Chevrolet and Lumberjack Competition Sponsor Scotch & Gulf Lumber Company.

Logistically we could not have gone without the Public Works Department and the Jackson Police Department. We appreciate their continued support before, during and after the Fall Festival. We appreciate Mayor Long and our city council for their continued support as well.
