Cascades Project Update
Sparry Sparks, grandson of Captain William Sparks offered reminiscences of his grandfather and the development of the Cascades. Captain William and Matilda Sparks built the Cascades Falls, park and golf course as a gift to the city and a group of citizens is working with Jackson County to renovate the falls. The wall has been removed and the berm will be taken down once the earth freezes in the next couple of weeks. Other guests: Leslie Youngdahl, Jackson Young Professionals President; Dave Vassal, Jackson Area Transportation Authority; Musical guests The Bickel Family (Phil, Paul and Dan); Liz Niles and Elli Blonde, American 1 Credit Union; Luke Varland, Jackson Coffee Co.
