Cascades

Roger and I had a hot date Saturday night - we went to a movie - "The Butler" - and then to see the Cascades in Jackson. There used to be an A&W Root Beer stand nearby where we would get popcorn and root beer in a frozen mug but it is no longer in business - things change in 40 years!!

The Cascades were built in 1932 by Mr. Sparks for his wife. It is a series of cement, tiered waterfalls with lights underneath and fountains on the sides. They play patriotic songs as the lights change colors to make a lovely display. As kids, we used to run up the steps and get wet from the misty spray. We are so glad that, through donations and volunteers, they are able to keep it open. It was a trip down memory lane!
