Sawmill Day Still Set For Today
April 24, 2010
Despite a rainy forecast, organizers still plan to celebrate Sawmill Day today in the historical park on Jefferson Street.
“We are still planning on having it outdoors,” organizer Jerry Simmons said Friday night.
The annual heritage festival will celebrate the roots of the town while raising funds for the Alger-Sullivan Historical Society. The groups museums — including the Leach House, the Boxcar and the Post Office — will be open for free tours.
The “Pictorial History” books published by the group will be for sale, along with books, railroad caps and coffee mugs.
Entertainment planned includes the Jay High Jazz Band, Atmore’s Southern Pride Dancers, Camp Fire boys and girls, the Pilgrim Lodge Youth Choir, the Santa Rosa & Escambia Twirlers, Angie Shelly & Twirltime and more.
The Panhandle Cruisers will display antique and custom automobiles, and there will be vendors featuring a variety of wares.
The event takes place from 8:30 a.m. until at the Historical Park in the Century Historical District on Jefferson Avenue.
