The Nashville Nutcases will host an evening of stand-up comedy Saturday at The Bar-B-Que Steakhouse in Crossville.

Terry Cliburn, Crossville native, is returning home to perform a little stand-up comedy, and he's bringing seven of his best comedian comrades with him. Toby Stapleton will be the headlining act.

Cliburn said, "You may not know these comedians yet, because we are all pretty new at this, but I'll bet by night's end, you'll have picked out a favorite or two who you want to follow. You can say you knew them way back when!"

Comedians include Scott Hill-Billy, Cutting Edge Brad Hinderliter, X-MAN, Magnanimous Monty Mitchell, Chris Loyd, the Loydster and Good Ol' Boy Toby Stapleton. Each comedian will perform a 15-minute stand-up act, followed by 30 minutes with Stapleton.

"Sit back, have a drink and enjoy the funniest two hours Crossville has to offer," Cliburn said.

The show starts at 9 p.m., but seating is limited. Admission is $5.

The Bar-B-Que Steakhouse is at 287 Highway 70 E. in Crossville.

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.

Farmer's Market opens for business June 2
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.

I received the cutest e-mail earlier this week and could not resist sharing it with Chronicle readers. The email contains a list of letters that children have written to God. I found them to be quite hilarious and feel sure you will as well. Please pardon the spelling as the notes were typed as the children wrote them:
