JSU A Major Sponsor
of Mountain Echoes Festival

According to Dr. Rebecca O. Turner, vice president for academic and student affairs, Jacksonville State University was a major sponsor of the Jacksonville Mountain Echoes Festival, held Saturday, September 23, 2006, on the town square. Dr. Turner coordinated JSU's involvement in the festival, which is an annual event organized by the Jacksonville Merchants Association.

More than sixty vendors sold craft items, food, jewelry, and paintings while children enjoyed games just for them. Throughout the day local musical talent entertained festival goers. Door prizes were distributed to more than fifty lucky individuals in attendance. ABC 33/40's News Anchor, Brenda Ladun, signed autographs and greeted hundreds of visitors to the Jacksonville State University tent on the square.

In the spirit of community, more than one hundred JSU staff and students worked throughout the day performing a multitude of tasks. A special thanks to Dr. Joe Delap and LTC Chip Hester for filling in as masters of ceremony, introducing talent, making special announcements and giving away door prizes. A big thanks to Mary Cheatwood, in the office of the VPASA, for all the administrative tasks she accomplished in preparation of the event.
