Jonas Billingslea Memorial

06/17/2025

The Jonas Billingslea Foundation has decided that we will be taking a year off from "JB Day" festivities in 2025. This decision was not made lightly, and we have carefully considered the best path forward for our event and our community. We will still be heavily involved in giving back to the community and supporting all back to school events and initiatives this summer and the remainder of the year. We will also be working hard behind the scenes on our plans for the future of "JB Day" and will share more information as soon as possible.

We're ONE WEEK AWAY‼️

"JB DAY" will get underway next Friday with our Community Cookout! The vision for this event is a community/family reunion style function full of food, fun, and fellowship.

Bouncers/slides, train rides, games, door prizes, and giveaways for children of all ages.

Free hamburgers, hot dogs, and snow cones while they last. If you're craving other grilled items Ask For Ro Jackson will be on site with his amazing BBQ for purchase (menu and prices coming soon). We will also have Twana Dozier and ACBT lemonade on site with her delicious and refreshing lemonade with over 10 flavors to choose from. If you and your family are in the mood to cook your own food, personal grills are welcomed as well!

DJ Tatyana Darden will be on crowd control. So come ready to dance/slide all evening!

This event will truly have something for the entire family. So please plan to pack your tents/lawn chairs and join us next Friday at the Lanett Parks and Recreation (football field) for a great time as we honor the life and legacy of Jonas Billingslea with an evening of fellowship and giving back to the community!
