http://www.tnmuseum.org/custpage.cfm/frm/64856/sec_id/64856  I am very sad that I will have to miss this wonderful event. My girls have the last football game of the year, and they have already committed to cheer. Please go if you are able and enjoy!!

Waldens Farms is a fantastic place for our troop family to celebrate fall together! Here is a link to their site:
Walden Farm is free to visit-unless you enter the special children's area, which I highly recommend! For adults to enter the children's area the fee is $1, for kids the fee is $4. I went with my family last year and made wonderful memories.  Some of the activities include a corn maze, a hay mountain and they have loads of other fun things to do! I am hoping we can all meet and have a lovely afternoon at the pumpkin patch!
