'Fairfield Gang' wins division in Christmas Parade

Tommy Lee, director of operations at Fairfield Glade Community Club, announced that congratulations are in order for the Food and Beverage, Conference Center and Recreation Departments. On Saturday, their entry won their division (commercial and retail) in the Crossville’s Christmas Parade!

Lee said they were led by Sheila Koelber and Jill Barnes, and the staff began working late Friday evening and started early Saturday morning to complete their theme of “Everyone Loves Presents.” Team members, from the housemen (Mike Rupe, Jim Hammurland, Palla Godsey), pools (Rick Reiss), wait staff (way too many to list), golf (Corey Wade) and Glade Café (Karyn Wade), came together to pull off the monumental task of decorating the catering truck, a 25’ float and two golf carts for the event.

The “Fairfield Gang” distributed flyers, menus, free dessert cards and candy to the enormous crowd watching the parade along its route. During preparation of the parade, the Glade Café also served coffee, hot chocolate and fresh baked cookies to all of the parade participants, Cumberland County Fire and Rescue, and Crossville Police, helping to keep everyone warm in the 30 degree weather.

A special thanks to Steve Kraft and the Golf Division, as well as Jeff Warren and Community Services, for their assistance. We are also indebted to Jill’s husband, Patrick, whose bright red Ford truck was the perfect “sleigh” to pull the float!

In ending, Lee and the Operations Division wished all a Merry Christmas!
