A Coffee Drive Thru and a Prayer for You
Clarksville, TN – Although most people think of the holidays as a time of cheer, for others it can be a hard time when it comes to thinking of loved ones lost or perhaps in our town a husband or wife that is overseas in the military leaving their families behind unable to share Christmas with their loved ones.
For this reason, Appleton’s has joined with the First Church of the Nazarene to offer a little something to help brighten up people’s mornings on their way to work.

Clarksville, TN – The Roxy Regional Theatre’s annual production of A Christmas Carol is in full swing after three very successful weekends. With the holidays being such an important time to us all, and our actors having to give up some of these holiday traditions to be apart of this cast, I thought it would be good for us all to reflect on what makes Christmas special to us.
So, last week, I asked the cast of A Christmas Carol, “What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory?” Here are some of the responses.
