A Jackson Jams event, at Jackson Park in Jackson on Thursday, August 27 has a special meaning.

On July 25, Jackson Police Lieutenant Mike Foeger and his father Carl were involved in an accident. They are both recovering from an incident which involved an explosion. It happened in Cedarburg.

Jackson Parks and Rec Director Tyler Mentzel told WTKM that it will be a special event, which means a lot.

"I was approached by a member of our community, who was interested in putting a brat fry together to help. It has become an event to support Mike and Carl Foeger and their family. We are super excited for it. We are asking people to just come out. It will be a Jackson Jams event with live music and vendors. It will be all of those things and much more. It means a lot. Brats and hot dogs will be served and they will have a raffle. All of the proceeds from the food and the raffle will go back to the Foeger family."     

This event will also include Jackson's Touch-A-Truck event, that had been canceled due to air quality concerns a few weeks ago.
