Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas… as the holidays approach the mind turns to festive events, feasting, and filling our homes with seasonal treasures. The Art of the Cupcake class promises to inspire the creation of treats for the eye as well as treasures on the tongue.
Join Suzann Griffith Tuesday, Oct. 27, 9 a.m.-noon, at the PCAC to learn the techniques to fashion your own unique approach to cupcake decorating. Plan to bring 3 or 4 cupcakes to which to apply to designs. Cost of the class is $15 and reservations may be made by calling the PCAC at 707-7249 with your credit card or mailing your check to The Art Guild at Fairfield Glade, 451 Lakeview Drive, Fairfield Glade, TN 38558. The deadline for reservations is Saturday, Oct. 24.
The Art Guild is a not-for-profit 501 ©(3) organization and an equal opportunity provider dedicated to the promotion of the arts in and around Cumberland County. See the Web site at www.artguildfairfieldglade.net.

The River WILD!
The Big South Fork of the Cumberland River winds its way through the 125,000 acres of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area before flowing into the Cumberland River and Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. It’s a free-flowing river, with no dams to control release of the water, but the scenery and the magnificent rock formations make it a favorite of paddling enthusiasts who watch the weather to see if they can get out and explore areas that are hard to reach by foot.

The Cumberland County Farmer’s Market will officially open the growing season as it has every year since 1978. This year’s “opening” will be Saturday, June 2, at the traditional location on Livingston Rd., next to the fairgrounds. Selling will begin early (6:30 a.m. or so), although some vendors may set up a few hours later in order to provide the freshest vegetables picked just that morning. There is usually a good selection until well after noon.
