Veteran’s Day Parade Through the Photographers Eyes
November 11, 2012
Written by Lois Jones
Clarksville, TN – When I woke up this morning, I had forgotten that the Veteran’s Day parade was being held today. You see, I teach beginning digital photography for the Community School of the Arts (CSA) on Saturday mornings, and as I was nearing Austin Peay, I saw that 8th Street and College Streets were blocked and still didn’t realize what was going on. I had to detour to get to my class and so did all of my students.
When we got to the classroom we discussed the parade and what a fabulous learning experience it would be for the class. Everyone grabbed their cameras and to the parade we went. All we had to do was walk outside the classroom and we were at the parade with a perfect spot to watch.

November 1, 2012
Clarksville, TN – Clarksville Dental Center (CDC) is holding its 13th annual “Candy Buy Back”. The doctors say the reasons are many, in addition to the fact that one never knows exactly what is in your child’s bag.”All that sugar hurts the child’s teeth and puts on body weight as well,” says Dr. Edington.
The doctors at CDC are offering $1.00 per pound of candy, and they will match that dollar with another dollar to be donated to a Clarksville/Montgomery County charity.
