- If you have or love boxer dogs, you might want to check out the 70-member Madison County Boxer Meetup Group . Every first Saturday of the month, they have a get together with their boxer dogs to socialize the dogs and get to know one another.
- September 15-16 from 7 am-2 pm, the sky above Moontown Airport will be abuzz with antique, warbird and experimental airplanes, ultralights and gliders. Free flights, on a first-come first served basis, will be offered to kids ages 8-17, with parent's permission, to inspire children to follow their dreams and introduce kids to a passion that might last a lifetime. Sign up that morning--no advance registration will be offered. Breakfast will be served Saturday from 7-10 am. Proceeds will benefit EAA 190 and local organizations.

- Panera Bread on Airport Road, next to Fresh Market, is now open. Their crispini's are only made after 4 pm. I hear their House Latte is yummy with cinnamon and spices but the regular amount of syrup is often a bit heavy so ask for "light on the spices."
