A few tips for Christmas tree contest: Where it says comments, choose newest to see ones you may have not seen yet. You won't have to scroll through ones you've already seen, this way. This also will keep comments from being filtered out.
You can like as many trees as you want, you don't have to pick one.
You are allowed to like your own tree.
Sharing and encouraging others to share your tree helps more people see your tree.
We are thrilled to see all of the holiday spirit!!!! We are amazed at how much creativity and talent you all have.

If you're a registered voter in District 7 (That is you, Humphreys County), TODAY is Election Day. Call 931-296-6504 if you don't know your polling place. If you received a mailer that tomorrow is Election Day, this is a fraudulent claim. Today is the last day you can vote. Also, your employer must allow you to leave to vote, if you need to do so. You may also ask the commission if they know of anyone giving rides to the polls. Often there are volunteers willing to do this. We encourage you to learn about each candidate's policies from an unbiased source (Reuters or AP are known for their integrity, politically) before casting a vote. Social media has an algorithm for you that's probably not going to accurately represent truth, just perspective. Happy Election Day everyone 🇺🇸

We had a car stuck trying to drive in yucky weather last year. Won't chance it again. Are we too cautious? Probably.
