There is a time and season for everything. Thank God we are getting close to the last frost date and can begin planting our vegetable and flower gardens. For high school seniors, it is time to take those finals and get into line for graduation. It has been a long 12 years! Then, there is Memorial Day. Its not all about barbeque picnics and getting to the lake. Memorial Day weekend is about remembering those who paid the supreme sacrifice for our freedom.
Here is a look at what’s happening throughout the month of May in Monterey, Tennessee.
