Sunday

The Jackson Zoo gained its accreditation back this past week and Sunday they are having a celebration PARTY! They will be serving cake from 1-3pm and there will be a special admissions price for everyone on Sunday.

For those who haven’t been by in the while, stop on by; the Zoo misses you and wants to show off what they have done and where they are headed.

Also, there will be an opportunity to sign up for healthcare at Battlefield Park from 1-6pm. Representatives from Humana and Central MS Health Services will be available to sign people up on the spot. Get help with getting health care insurance!

Have a fun and productive weekend!
