In December of that year, he decided to enlist in the U.S. Army, where his training began in January 1968 at Fort Benning, Georgia. It was there that Richardson had his first experience working in snowy conditions.

Jacksonville Fair 2026 gets a major upgrade. Here's your guide

A new location, bigger attractions and fresh experiences headline the Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair’s 71st year. Returning Nov. 5-15, 2026, the annual Northeast Florida tradition will bring 11 days of rides, fair food, live entertainment, competitions, shopping and family fun to a brand-new location on Jacksonville’s Westside. This year marks the beginning of a new chapter for the fair as it moves to its new 82-plus-acre home next to the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. The move sets the stage for what organizers hope will be the biggest Jacksonville Fair yet. According to Bill Olson, who has served as president and CEO of the Jacksonville Fairgrounds since January 2019, the goal is to elevate the Jacksonville Fair into the ranks of Florida’s largest and most prominent fairs, alongside the Florida State Fair in Tampa, the South Florida Fair in West Palm Beach, the Miami-Dade County Fair and the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City. "We'll get there in a couple years" he added. Among the new additions this year are the JAX Amphitheater, a 10,000-capacity outdoor venue; the Kona Skate Show; a new agricultural barn; expanded food offerings; and a towering 155-foot Ferris wheel known as Mr. Chubby’s Wing Wheel, just to

Jacksonville Opens Hunt for Developers to Revive 122-Year-Old Snyder Church

Jacksonville is kicking off a new push Thursday to find a developer willing to breathe life back into Snyder Memorial, the 122-year-old church building that has sat largely dormant in the heart of downtown. The city-owned structure at 226 N. Laura St. hasn't hosted a religious service since the 1970s, but officials hope that is about to change in a different way, with a request for information going out to gauge which developers are serious about taking it on.

Amendment 3 passes: Jacksonville homeowners could save thousands as city weighs budget cuts

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – More than 4.9 million Floridians voted “Yes” on Amendment 3. In Duval County, 56.5% of voters — more than 194,000 people — approved the measure. The amendment expands the non-school property homestead exemption from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027, then to $250,000 in 2028. That means more money in homeowners’ pockets — but significantly less for local government.

Angie Nixon broke the rules of campaigning in Florida. Is it enough to win?

TALLAHASSEE — In the back seat of the pink and yellow van with her face plastered to its side, Angie Nixon put her head in her hands. After campaign stops that week in Gainesville, Tampa and Miami, the seemingly indefatigable Nixon, a three-term state House representative whose small-budget U.S. Senate campaign upended expectations in the nation’s third-largest state, was visibly tired. With a hoarse voice, she still had one more event with Asian American voters, several appearances at FAMU Homecoming events and a three-hour drive back to Jacksonville to go that day.
