Activities for youth and families scheduled to begin next month including arts and outdoor learning classes, live music and exercise.
JACKSON, Tenn., April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Brooks Shaw's Old Country Store and Casey Jones Village will offer several events in May including craft classes for children, live music, and a petting zoo. The spring and upcoming summer programming is part of an ongoing effort to remain engaged with the community's youth, seniors, and families.
Beginning Thursday, May 11, Old Country Store Guests can be a part of the Shaw family celebration and remembrance of its matriarch, Anne, on what would have been her 100th birthday. Guests will have their choice of a complimentary scoop of ice cream (chocolate, strawberry or vanilla) in Miss Anne's Ice Cream Parlor.
"With the reimagining of the ice cream parlor last year, it reflects the joy of my grandmother in bringing families together with something for everyone - toys and candy for children, a game of checkers for families and ice cream flavors for a variety of tastes," Old Country Store General Manager Brooks Shaw said.
Beginning Monday May 15, Casey Jones Craft Camp will be held at 10:30 a.m. with two age groups of 0-6 years old and 7-10 years old. The craft camp is free and includes light refreshments. The camp will be held every Monday.
