Big crowd for Obion County Junior High Tournament in Troy !  South Fulton vs Hillcrest girls and  Hillcrest boys vs Lake Road

Slowly and methodically the historic Reelfoot Packing Company in Union City TN is being raized. Thousands of hogs and cows made there final destination here which provided thousands of jobs that helped grow the local economy exponentially. In its day Reelfoot was a household brand for decades for meat at the breakfast, lunch and dinner table and was considered among the best packaged meats in the region. It seemed every grocery store carried their meat products. Reelfoot provided jobs in trucking, clerical, laborers and many others associated with the company. Reelfoot, Brown Shoe, American Metals, Salant and later Goodyear Tire and Rubber were among the leading employers in their day. The letters on the smokestack (we’re told) were made from white bricks which is why the Reelfoot name remains prominent to motorist on Reelfoot Avenue. It is unclear if the smokestack will remain. You’ll notice the observation stand on the smokestack is firmly attached.

What are your good memories of Reelfoot Packing?
