In Centerville, TN in Hickman CountyI just received a message from my wife that <strong>Commissioner James Hassell</strong> was found "<em>Not Guilty</em>" in <strong>Centerville, TN</strong> in <strong>Hickman County</strong>. James was charged with 5 counts of voter fraud. I have known James for several years and it was common knowledge that about 30 years ago that he served time for moonshining. As I said in an earlier post, I believe that it was a witch hunt and that the prosecutor thought he could make a name for himself by prosecuting a sitting commissioner. This is one instance that I believe that 'justice was served' in <strong>Hickman County</strong>.Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02809791868988523857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597551688710653254.post-74986167474643804562012-09-26T08:38:00.004-07:002012-09-26T08:38:33.069-07:00Banana Pudding Festival In Hickman County, TNThe 3rd annual Banana Pudding Festival will be held Saturday, October 6 at the Ag Pavilion in <b>Grinder's Switch</b>, which was made famous by Minnie Pearl.<br />

Perhaps one of the biggest weekends all year in <b>Hickman County</b>, Tennessee. October 1, 2011 is the date for three major events: The Banana Pudding Festival, The Civitan Car Show, and the Quilt Show. All of them are in <b>Centerville</b> within just a few miles from each other.<br />
<br />
The quilt show will be held at the First Baptist Church located at 123 Church Street in Centerville. It will be held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For more information, check out the website <a href="http://www.hickmanco.org/component/content/article/186-hickman-co-quilt-show">http://www.hickmanco.org/component/content/article/186-hickman-co-quilt-show</a> .<br />
<br />
The <b>Centerville In The Fall Car Show</b> will be held at the Justice Center in <b>Centerville</b> within walking distance from the Quilt show.

<br />
The Banana Pudding Festival will be held at the Grinder's Switch Ag Pavilion in <b>Centerville</b>. It is a couple of miles away, but there will be shuttles between the car show and it. Last year it was estimated that over 3,000 people attended. It is located in <b><i>Grinder's Switch</i></b>, an area of Centerville, best known as the home of <b><i>Minnie Pearl</i></b> who made the town famous in her comedy routine on the Grand Ole Opry.

In case you didn't know it, Hickman County Schools have been out this week because of the snow fall. The main roads have been cleared since the first day of snow, but many of the back roads are a sheet of ice.<div><br /></div><div>If you have children, you will understand why I am ready for school to start back. First of all, I have to feed them; usually, I just tell them to find something to eat. Then I have to be referee when they are arguing - which is a lot. Anyway, I am sure most parents in <b><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Centerville</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Lyles</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Bon</span> Aqua, Pinewood</b>, and all the other surrounding communities in Tennessee are ready for this snow to melt.</div>Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02809791868988523857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597551688710653254.post-67478352407127310602010-12-31T07:29:00.000-08:002010-12-31T07:46:58.663-08:00Happy New Year From Hickman County!It is hard for me to believe that this year is over. My dad always said that as you get older, time flies. Well, I guess he was right again. It amazes me that it has already been ten years since we were all worried about the millennium bug. But we survived that, and many more things during this first decade of the 21st century. I am sure that all the media outlets will be giving their top ten lists of the best and worst of this year and this decade.<div><br /></div><div>Just let me say that I hope the new year brings you everything that you could want and need.</div><div><br /></div><div>From the Taylor house in <b>Centerville in</b> <b>Hickman County, Tennessee</b> to yours, <b><i>Happy New Year!</i></b></div>Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02809791868988523857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597551688710653254.post-45804096310522652422010-12-21T19:31:00.000-08:002010-12-21T19:33:05.024-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxEdbSC0_NNGNF30xIatr1HxPRtxywC5kbdmR-AeTjxs7tAVQyxqTTMxUfqetfWGxGgWnGzkSjpyEInquNaH8uA1hHime0PD1yJUDGYmJzkO6wzDToKqoRFFgc7BgNAQ-EGcrWa7GehPK-/s1600/Facebook+Front+2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 277px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxEdbSC0_NNGNF30xIatr1HxPRtxywC5kbdmR-AeTjxs7tAVQyxqTTMxUfqetfWGxGgWnGzkSjpyEInquNaH8uA1hHime0PD1yJUDGYmJzkO6wzDToKqoRFFgc7BgNAQ-EGcrWa7GehPK-/s400/Facebook+Front+2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553344378428385618" /></a>Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02809791868988523857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597551688710653254.post-4147014364406406972010-12-10T19:15:00.000-08:002010-12-10T19:20:04.399-08:00Santa Claus is Coming on A Boogie, Woogie, Choo Choo Train!Santa has decided to visit <b>Centerville in Hickman County</b> by train.

Jobs in <b>Hickman County</b> needs to be revitalized. There are several vacant buildings that would make good locations for new industry. And, there are plenty of unemployed persons that would love to have a job here. I realize that <b>Tennessee</b> has been hit hard during this recession, but our organizations that are in charge of recruitment of industry need to go out and recruit.</div>Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02809791868988523857noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597551688710653254.post-23437389750670679572010-11-28T08:00:00.000-08:002010-11-28T08:13:10.057-08:00East Hickman Christmas Parade In 2010<em>"It's the most wonderful time of the year."</em> The<strong> East Hickman County </strong>Christmas Parade is scheduled on December 12 and will begin at East Hickman Elementary School in <strong>Lyles, Tennessee</strong> and end at East Hickman High School on Highway 7.
