As flood anniversary approaches, city of Jackson plans big 4th of July celebration

On Saturday, the city of Jackson, in Breathitt County, will hold its largest gathering since last year’s floods. “Pig Out In The Park” will feature a greased pig contest, inflatables, vendors, live music and more. Jackson Mayor Laura Thomas said she hopes the free gathering will take folks’ minds off that looming anniversary.

“And they'll have some fun things to do with the kids. Get them out in you know, go through the splash pad and listen to music, buy some good carnival junk food, and, you know, just enjoy the time with the family.”
