Volume 6, Issue 25

July 1. Can you believe it? Where has the time gone? Hope you have plans for a big 4th of July holiday. We will be open at the Heritage Center and of course free popsicles for the kids (of all ages). Come see us and bring your whole family. We're open all weekend and Monday, too.

Are you on facebook? Please "like" the Heritage Center and keep up with what's happening there.

I'll also be on Brownsville Radio this morning talking about the Center, so tune in to 95.3 FM.

Did you get a chance to go by and visit with our outgoing mayor and vice mayor this past Tuesday? Here are a few random pictures from the event.

Our Haywood High School Special Olympics team is heading for Lincoln, Nebraska, next week to compete in the National Olympics. There will be a special send-off celebration for them on the courthouse lawn Tuesday, July 13 at 4 p.m. Hope you can turn out to wish these kids well.

A couple of businesses are celebrating an anniversary this month - Fine Things has been in business 5 years and Pat's Fabrics is celebrating 2 years. Drop by and congratulate them on their success.

There is an official Ribbon Cutting for the new Skate Board Park at East Side this morning at 9 a.m. This has been in the works for a while and I know a lot of kids around town are looking forward to using this park.

Fifth Annual Kid's Day, sponsored by the Chamber and Parks and Rec., is planned for Wednesday, July 14, at Volunteer Park. If you can volunteer to bake some cookies or help in any way, call the Chamber at 731-772-2193, or Parks and Rec. at 731-772-6693.

I will be traveling throughout West Tennessee next week promoting the Heritage Center and Brownsville and will not send a newsletter next Thursday. As always there are many events happening so please check out the calendar below and keep an eye on the online calendar for updates and additions.
