Bollinger Mill outside Jackson will hold a celebration Saturday highlighting the work done recently by workers in the State Park Youth Corps program. The "New Faces of Preservation" will feature a watermelon seed-spitting contest, a presentation with photos of the work -- like replacing windows, painting, maintaining the cemetery and more. The mill, a 19th-century structure with a covered bridge nearby, welcomes around 39,000 visitors each year. Kites, books and balls are on hand for children to play with, and volunteers conduct historical tours. This weekend's celebration will be from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the mill at 113 Bollinger Mill Road, Burfordville.
