This oil painting entitled "Fort Jewell and Billy Street" was painted for Jewell's Sesquicentennial by Jim Nelson, an area artist. Nelson has lived in Jewell since 1969 but spent summers with his Russell grandparents as a youth. The impressionist painting depicts Fort Jewell, early settler, Billy Street, and Scarbrough Hill. This is one of three items to be auctioned during the Jewell Corn Show. The auction will be at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10, in front of the Jewell Community Center.
