It's Show Time!
11th Annual Show
May 23-24
Franklin Farm
US Hwy 411, between Maryville & Seymour

The May Newsletter is online, with last minute information about the Annual Show. Also, there was an excellent article in the Daily Times on May 10 that featured Phillip Wiseman and Elmer Hill's tractor obsession, and how Phillip came across his 1952 John Deere MI. We've reprinted the article in our Newsletter in case you didn't see it in the paper.

Disasters can affect us any time, any place.  Tennessee was hit hard by the early February tornado outbreak, and there were 31 deaths, hundreds of injuries and tremendous property damage as a result. It could have been a lot worse, and it is a miracle that nobody was killed when Union University in Jackson when the dormitories were destroyed. Please pray for the affected people and communities, and contribute your time and funds through one of the disaster relief organizations as you feel lead.

Even disaster that strike far from home can affect us, as seen with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and winter storms.  Take time to learn about the disasters that can affect you and your community, and develop emergency plans for your family now.  If you wait until a warning is issued, then it is too late.  Two websites with lots of information you can use are:

• Extension Disaster Education Network: EDEN

• Weather and weather related emergency info: National Weather Service
