Toast of Jackson
2nd Year a Success!
With over 600 attendees, the 2nd annual Toast of Jackson was definitely considered a success! From 12pm to 6pm on Saturday, July 28th, there was a steady stream of guests that trickled in to enjoy 12 different wineries and over 15 vendors that were selling everything from jewelry to art to BBQ sauce. Event chair Brian Crockarell and his committee did a fantastic job of putting this together and have set a precedent of how it is to be done in the future. Much appreciation goes out to the many Exchange

Club and family volunteers who spent their Saturday helping to raise funds and awareness of the Jackson Exchange Club. Congrats on another great year!
