Happy Friday & Great Spring Break to all those involved with school!
There are several things going on in the next week or so, please be sure to check them out at the links provided in the sidebar. Enjoy local! Cordell Hull Birthplace State Park has several things going on and would love to have you in attendance as well. This weekend is the Annual Sgt. Alvin C. York Memorial Shoot in Pall Mall, TN. The weather sounds like it is going to be excellent for the event. Stop in at the York Country Store while you are in the area – they have food! Forbus General Store is also in the vicinity – grab some delicious fudge (among other items) while you are there. The other state parks also have events coming up (Sgt. York,Pickett State and Standing Stone). All Tennessee State Parks are having special Spring Hikes this weekend.
Next weekend is the Open House at The Farm at East Port Marina on March 31st. If you plan to attend, they would appreciate your reserving your tickets in advance – but they are not required. It just makes it easier to know how many to plan for. It is going to be awesome! March 30-31 is also the Spring Dale Hollow Bass Classic. Anglers, registration forms can be picked up at Town Hall and then you won’t have to deal with that on Saturday morning.
As usual, there will be LIVE music at the Dixie Cafe on Friday & Saturday nights and on Saturday night at the Country Kitchen. Be sure to check out the great food and specials at our other local restaurants! They are ready to serve you! You can find a list of area eateries here- check them out soon!
