Jackson Generals to host Gary Pickens Appreciation Day

JACKSON, Tenn. — Our local baseball team has a big day planned for departing WBBJ forecaster Gary Pickens.

The Jackson Generals will host Gary Pickens Appreciation Day on Saturday, July 29, at the Ballpark at Jackson.

Gary will be there for a meet-and-greet and also will throw out the first pitch of the game.

To honor Gary, the team will give away “Because Gary Said So” umbrellas to the first 500 families.

There will also be fireworks.

This is longtime forecaster Gary Pickens’ last week at WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News.
