The following photos are a collection from the past weekend's events in downtown Jacksonville. For the past few years, a major renovation of the city's center has been slowly progressing. Since then, 20 new businesses have relocated to the town square. Events from the weekend included a celebratory parade, the famous Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales, local art competitions and the installment of a historic Eli Bridge Co. Ferris wheel that was built at the Jacksonville company in 1936. During all the excitement, I was lucky enough to get a local pilot to fly a J-C reporter and myself over the area in his helicopter. All in all, a successful weekend in Jacksonville.
