The Jackson Harness Raceway in Michigan has been without horse racing for nearly a decade, and will soon be demolished to make way for an events center on the Jackson County Fairgrounds. Before that happens, plans have been made to send the old structure out with a farewell party in honor of its 60 years of service. Too many people have too many great memories to have it any other way. A celebration of the Raceway’s life will be held Sunday (July 8) when the “Remembering Jackson Matinee” will be held from 12 noon to 6 p.m.
