This and That...

Since Pete's Birthday we have be going, and going, and going. Kinda like the Energizer Bunny! 2 weekends ago (7/30-8/1) the Herndon's went to Pickwick with us. It was nice to get away, disconnect, and relax. I am pretty sure Pete had the best time floating. Brian shared his float with Pete. Thanks for helping us spoil him even more!



The week after the lake was packed with meetings leading up to the announcement that was made in Sunday's Paper. The Downtown Tupelo Main Street Association was awarded a $10,000 Grant for Placemaking. Only 1 application could be submitted from each State. We had a 1 in 50 chance, then 1 in 10 chance and finally a 1 in 3 chance. And we won!!!! If you missed the announcement you can read about it online - Click Here!

Last Friday (8/6) the Benders Played at Woody's to a packed crowd. Thanks to everyone who came out to support them. They are getting closer to finishing their 1st Album. On Saturday August 21st they are playing at Zydeco in Birmingham, AL as part of BAAM Fest. If you will be in the area please join us!
On Saturday (8/7) we did the Tour de Bodock. It was a fun ride but 37 miles in the Mississippi Heat is almost too much. It took us just over 2 hours with 2 rest stops.




This week is another busy one. It is Elvis Week in Memphis! Kevin Mills is the Winner from the Tupelo Tribute Artist Competition that will be representing us! We had a send off party for him last night. More about this week coming soon...
