Someone's hiding treasure in a field next month 🗺️
Good morning, Jackson County. The fair may be over, but the ribbons are still fresh — the Jackson-Vinton Farm Bureau is celebrating every 4-H and FFA member who showed up, put in the work, and made the county proud. That kind of local pride never gets old. On the national front, oil markets are rattling after fresh Middle East tensions raised concerns about crude shipments, jobless claims keep quietly ticking down, and green card holders may soon be facing some steep new application fees.
Once you've caught up on the headlines, mark your calendar — the French 500 Flea Market rolls in October 9th, and if treasure hunting isn't your thing, fresh local property listings are waiting over in Real Estate.
