HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SEMI ON THE ROAD? IT TRAVELS AROUND THE COUNTRY, ADVERTISING JACKSON COUNTY. CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT. WHEN
JACKSON COUNTY BECAME A "GREAT PLACES" COUNTY AROUND A YEAR AGO,
THIS ROVING SEMI WAS ONE OF THE BENEFITS. IT WAS ON DISPLAY IN JULY IN MAQUOKETA DURING THE FIVE DAYS OF THE JACKSON COUNTY FAIR AND WAS IN THE FAIR PARADE. IT WILL ALSO BE ON DISPLAY THIS SATURDAY DURING THE OPEN HOUSE OF THE NEW CLINTON ENGINES MUSEUM IN MAQUOKETA.
