Wonderful Day in LaVergne!

Oldtimer's Day was a wonderful success in my book. It looked to be a great crowd and with plenty of events, great entertainment, and perfect weather, the day really was marvelous.

Here's the write-up in the Daily News Journal. I was there when the Red Hot Mamas were performing - I was very impressed with their music. I tried to put a link here for this talented group, but couldn't find one. But they were amazing. Need a wedding singer? Need someone to perform for a graduation party? Give them a try!

We watched the parade and really enjoyed the LaVergne High School marching band. Got to see our city's finest police officers and firefighters, along with our local politicians. My advice: when you're in a parade and throw candy to the crowds, try not to AIM it at people and throw hard. I mean, dang. One of our local politicians needs to try-out for the major leagues with that high speed pitch! ;) Just kidding.... the parade really was so much fun. The food was fantastic - from the fresh squeezed lemonade to the funnel cakes to the hamburgers! Yum!

I saw a lot of people working really hard to make it an enjoyable day for the people of our community. The day was a lot of fun - our city workers did an outstanding job pulling it together.

Now check this out: We're invited to Oldtimers Day 2007!
