On April 22, 2017 the North Jackson Ag 4-H club cleaned up the Gibson cemetery. For many years the 4-H club has raked, picked up sticks, and clean up any trash that may be laying around. After the cemetery was cleaned the North Jackson Ag club held their second meeting of the year. The meeting was opened by Kayleen Conklin. During the meet they discussed the upcoming events the club would be attending. This included pig and lamb tagging on May 6 at the Harford Fair grounds.
