As Mayor of this great city, I, Harold Perrin, invite all residents, visitors, and all business owners to experience Jonesboro’s Sesquicentennial during the year of 2009.  I call upon the people of Jonesboro and Craighead County to observe the year with appropriate ceremonies and activities.  I invite you to become involved and support the 150th Anniversary by participating in this celebration.

As we all know, Jonesboro is an ideal place to live, offering arts and culture, good education, many churches, work opportunities, civic activities and recreation.  Many of the festivities will revolve around these qualities that have made Jonesboro the place we call home.  Again, I invite you to join us to make this 150th celebration a year to remember

Harold Perrin

Mayor, City of Jonesboro
