It?s almost the weekend and for so many reasons I am excited. First, although perhaps not most importantly, Magic Mike opens this weekend (are you with me ladies?). Second, for many lucky souls it?s the start of a VERY LONG weekend. Finally, there is a crazy amount of free and cheap family fun coming your way. As always, our list is just the beginning so check out our Calendar, our Yard Sale Listings, and our Farmer?s Market page for more info about all that is happening in the Tennessee Valley this long weekend.
On behalf of all of us at RCM we hope you have a joyous and SAFE 4th of July.

Thursday-Saturday, June 28-30: I?ve waxed poetic about this event last year and again this year. It?s just that much fun and such a great throwback to a time when the entire community would get together at a local fair to raise money for a great cause and just have a lot of fun. As the name implies, all rides are for the little ones and just like the days of yesteryear, one $.50 ticket will get them on the ride.
