This years Sparta Veterans day parade was clear and sunny Sky's. The streets where lined with several Sparta residents paying tribute to our Veterans - local, afar, present and past.

Some of the many parade participants - local military, ROTC, White county high school band and students, Sparta humane society, Sparta and surrounding area fire and police departments, antique cars and residents.

Thank you to all Veterans who helped and continue to help keep our country free and safe. You are and will always be appreciated.

One of my favorite Tennessee hiking destinations for me and my furry kid (Merlot) is Burgess Falls state park located in Sparta, TN.

As the park is only a short drive this is a monthly hiking adventure that always seems to have something new to experience with each season. The main waterfall lined trail is 1.5 miles which includes several area's to stop and take in bluffs, streams, soaring birds, wooden bridges, rock formations and all the splendid surrounding nature.

When in Tennessee or if you are a resident - I highly recommend Burgess Falls State Park. Burgess Falls location and further information.

(Merlot obviously wanted to play in the water instead of pose for another photo!)

This Halloween season there is something creepy and wicked lurking down an old country drive.

Standing tall with Erie pride. As you slowly walk closer you can feel watchful ghostly eyes as you approach the SPARTA TENNESSEE HAUNTED BARN!

For a delicious hair raising adventure you must experience the haunted barn. Sponsored by the White county young farmers and ranchers to raise funds for a scholarship and a fund for agricultural disaster relief. Only $5.00 cover charge. Located at Blackheart Farm - Upper Cumberland Regional Park, Hwy 70/Smithville Hwy, 3 miles west of Sparta. Watch for signs.
