What is it?
The Annual St.
Patrick's Day Dandelion Days Celebration is a
family-oriented event, and it's lots of fun! It
includes an outdoor bazaar and flea market featuring antiques, relics and
collectibles, arts and crafts, and much more. There is also lots of fun,
food, street entertainers and even a 5K run. But Dandelion Days is also
known for its rich local community flavor, one thing that makes it so
popular. In fact, a great many attendees come from outside the county to
join the fun! Not lease of all, Dandelion days is the Jackson Lions
Club's largest fundraising effort and benefits student scholarships and
community events. Click

held, will have photos soon!)
