Happy Friday!
Finally Friday again! Welcome to the weekend! As summer is quickly coming to a close and we transition into fall, may you find the very best our area has to offer each and every day. Fall will bring the Rollercoaster Yard Sale (Oct. 1-3), several fishing tournaments, as well as our annual Town of Byrdstown 3k/5k Run/Walk on October 10th. We hope everyone will stay safe and healthy throughout the coming months.
The Town of Byrdstown 3k/5k Walk/Run will have task force members Carolyn Franklin and Gloria Frances out and about in the coming weeks to collect sponsorship monies for the event. A great big “THANK YOU!” to all who help support this effort and the work of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Coming up this weekend: WCTE-PBS will be having their Downtown Film Festival tomorrow from 10AM-10PM. Learn more here. Obey River Grill at East Port Marina is having BrainBlast Trivia on Friday evenings each week until the marina closes for the season on November 1. Forbus General Store has Fish Fryday – Friday. York Country Store will be having walleye or butterfly shrimp on special on Friday and Saturday evenings. Ritter Family Farms will be at the Farmers Market on Saturday with fresh local produce (also on Thursdays) – and there might be others. There will be live music at the Dixie Cafe (yummy specials too) and Bald Rock Package, LLC on Friday and Saturday night. Make sure you check out the many other wonderful places to grab a bite to eat in the area. You can find our members here: www.dalehollow.com/dine.
Cordell Hull Birthplace State Park has several events/workshops/activities in the coming days. Check the Cordell Hull Birthplace State Park calendar here.
Labor Day is next weekend! Where or where has this year gone? The City of Byrdstown will be hosting an “A Night of Music” on Saturday, September 5th at the Pavilion across from Town Hall. Plenty of room to listen to the music and “visit” at a distance as the social distancing guidelines are greatly encouraged. “Crossfire” will be performing from 7-10PM with food vendors on site as well. Bring your chair, blanket, etc. to be comfortable.
Remember! Good Neighbors Theatre has opted to do a “Social Distancing Gala” this year and are taking donations for the Rollercoaster Yard Sale in October. They can really use your help. The Fall Dale Hollow Bass Classic will be held the weekend of November 14 & 15, 2020. Drop us a reply if you want a copy to print yourself or we will be mailing to past participants soon.
