TSU & ATSU Students--Welcomed Guests
80 members of TSU pledge class of Alpha Phi Omega came to play on Sunday afternoon, and tonite ATSU 1st year med students wandered thru the maze, then created corn hole competition to take a break from the Anatomy/Bio Chem regiment. We are so fortunate to have quality students living in our community and sharing a portion of their lives with us here in NEMO. We appreciate their friendship.

International Students (Language Company)
What a pleasure for us to host the international students who are becoming proficient in their English skills. Their activity of "getting lost" in the maze whet their appetite for good food cooked on the open flame pit!!! Of course the cattle and the horses provided amusement for the students as the animals come running at the familiar sound of the corn cannon feeding corn out in the field. A competitive tournament of corn hole finished their evening of fun in the country---in a foreign land--in an agricultural setting--yet bonding relationships with people who share common values of education, preservation of the environment, and friendship. Again, we are blessed.

2011 Theme - Salute to LaPlata R-II Schools
The 2011 Jackson Country Connection corn maze/pumpkin patch is paying tribute to the LaPlata R-2 Schools with recognition of the school’s strong scholastic, athletic, and value driven educational programs.

October 29, 2010
This past week has been busy with lots of little bodies from HeadStart and Schuyler County Schools, Clover Classics 4-H, church groups, and we look forward to the weekend with TSU students and church youth. Mother Nature has challenged us with wind and is now moving us into the last days of our season with morning frosts--the bright floral colors are fading, the air is crisp, yet warm, and the sun continues to shine. The last of the pumpkins yearn to leave Jackson Acres with guests and celebrate the end of fall in a new home...We encourage families to come and enjoy a brief time in the country with us--make a memory and count your blessings ...
