The McKenzie Senior Citizens Center held their bi-monthly cake walk, auction and dinner on Saturday, September 27.
Several members from the senior center as well as guests from the community showed up and walked to music provided by Steve Bomar and Dale Cooper for a chance to win an array of donated homemade desserts.
“My wife and I came from the Northwest and we thought it would be a great idea to do something very Southern like a cake walk,” said Scott Armpriest, husband of Center President Carol Armpriest. “And that’s how that started.”
Armpriest said he was very surprised by the turnout considering the Heritage Festival took place the same day. He said he hopes more people will show up for the next one on November 22.

Students Celebrate World School Milk Day Across WCSSD

McLemoresville and Trezevant, Tenn. – On September 24, students at West Carroll Primary and West Carroll Elementary Schools joined thousands of children around the globe in celebrating World School Milk Day.

Roughly 300 students participated in the event, which featured a special lunchtime visit from the school milk mascot. While the mascot’s identity remains a mystery, the reaction was immediate. Students smiled, waved, and received commemorative stickers as part of the celebration. In addition to handing out milk and stickers, staff used the opportunity to remind students about the nutritional value of milk and its role in building strong bones.

The event was coordinated by the West Carroll Primary and West Carroll Elementary School Nutrition Ladies who play an important role in daily school life, ensuring students are fed, encouraged, recognized, and supported when passing through the lunch line. World School Milk Day has been observed at WCSSD for several years as a fun way to highlight healthy choices and connect with students during mealtime.
