Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each race – 50k, 25k, 15k. The awards are made by the Dickson County Woodturners. They are made from wood from the Montgomery Bell State Park and then engraved with the event logo and award information. All finishers will receive finisher medals. Since this race began in 2014, it has continued to grow each year and draw runners from all over the country.

4The French Family Concert – December 16, 2022

Storytellers Hideaway Farm and Museum

9347 Old Highway 46

Lyles Tennessee

https://www.facebook.com/storytellershideawayfarmandmuseum/events

Time: 6:00 p.m. doors open, show starts at 7:00 p.m.

Cost: $20 per person, children under 10 are free

Christmas music just sounds better coming from the voices of a family, that’s why the Storytellers Hideaway is bringing the French Family to its stage at The American Garage for a holiday concert.  The doors open at 6:00pm so visitors can visit the Farmhouse to see the Christmas lights and decorations.

The French Family may launch into the bittersweet ache of a classic or the startling tenderness of one of their self-penned original songs.  This trio is made up of dad Stuie, mom Camille, and son and middle child Sonny, who sing classic country style with a modern twist.

Before having a family of three, Camille and Stuie toured over 20 years as Camille and Stuie in their beloved Australia. They earned three Australian Golden Guitar Awards––that country’s equivalent to the CMAs. Then Nashville came calling. The Time Jumpers took an interest in the group and they have been living and performing in the States ever since.
