With more than 60 exhibits, the Upper Cumberland Showcase for Women will be the largest Women's Show since its birth six years ago.

The show will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., April 8, at the Agricultural Complex at the White County fairgrounds. This ultimate celebration for women will feature the latest products and services in fashion, beauty, health, nutrition, fitness, financial planning, home, autos, lifestyle, handmade crafts and much more.

Tickets are on sale now at several locations around Sparta and Cookeville. Tickets are $5 in advance, $6 at the door. Children under 12 will be admitted free of charge.

This sixth annual showcase is designed from the beginning to the end with features focusing exclusively for women. Games and prizes will be part of the entertainment throughout the day. The stage will be set for attendees to enjoy fashion shows, makeovers, massages, learn more about skin care, hair care, and interior decorating, find out what is new in beauty products, jewelry, and accessories. Health screenings and other educational information will be available, as well as many live demonstrations, and of course, the ever-popular Make n' Take workshops will be back.

"Women have incredible power in today's family, both personal and economic," said Cristie Hatmaker, Expositor advertising manager. "Unfortunately, many are so busy handling life's necessities, they don't take time to explore new interest or enjoy a little pampering."

Women of all ages are invited to come and enjoy a day of pampering. This year's booths will include many favorites from the past and several newcomers to the growing annual event.

"Bring address labels to make it easier to sign up for door prizes at the booths, and remember to wear comfortable shoes, comfortable clothes, and enjoy the day," Hatmaker said. "The Women's Show is the one place to discover what is new, and for us to reenergize and renew ourselves, mind, body and spirit."

The grand prize for 2006 is a kitchen makeover including appliances, flooring, cabinets, countertops, paint, window treatments and accessories. Other prizes include a complete bedding ensemble valued at more than $2,500, and cash and treasures valued at more than $30,000.

So make plans now to join in at the sixth annual Women's Show for a day of fun, friends and fantastic prizes.

New Corvette Club shares love for flair, design
If you were reaching maturity during the 1950s through '60s, you were probably either a Chevy guy or a Ford guy. While Chevy guys had reason to admire Ford Thunderbirds and Mustangs, the Chevy sports car enthusiasts have had an ace-in-the hole with the advent of the first production Corvette in 1953 — only six months after it debuted as a GM prototype.

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.
