We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving with friends and family – and a lot of good food! I think that Small Business Saturday went really well.

I would like to thank everyone who has come out to ‘light up the town’ by decorating city poles and businesses. Sunday was a lot of fun, as we set up to give away hot chocolate, only for it to be nearly 70 degrees! Lisa and John Rose, Mark and Tammy Parish, and Cassie Sallee…

Another successful weekend in Tishomingo! Again, there are so many great people behind the planning of this kind of event. Jody Teeter and his team in the Events Office in the Information Center spent many long hours working out all of the details to make sure the Festival was seamless in implementation. Awesome job. I…

What a fun Saturday in Tishomingo we had! There were so many people involved in the successful execution of the Paint The Town Red event for the grand opening of Ole Red’s. Local and neighboring law enforcement, EMS, Mercy Hospital, our emergency manager, city mayor and manager, and the many volunteers, Ole Red Staff, Ryman…

I hope you are all ready for a fun-filled weekend! I know that I will be enjoying the great food, picking up Ole Red merchandise, and soaking in some familiar country tunes.
