It was truly a party atmosphere for the children, thanks to their teachers, who chose many activities for everyone to enjoy together. There was a slip-n-slide, a popular photo booth, pin-the-tail-on-the-trail and water tables. Everyone even enjoyed making maracas. It was a great opportunity for the families to fellowship with those who have been with the school for years, as well as our new children and families to make new connections.
The food, provided by Tito’s Mexican Restaurant and friends, Josh and Katie McKenzie, was a “Walking Taco Bar,” where you make your own tacos and then enjoy them while walking. Parents and staff supplied delicious desserts.
One favorite aspect of THE Children’s Academy is that there are frequent family events held throughout the year. Upcoming events include the Back-to-School Open House and the Fall Fest. This August, we will celebrate 11 years of providing love to the awesome children and families in Spring Hill.
THE Children’s Academy is a family focused, literacy based early education experience to provide each child their best start for a lifetime of successful learning.

Mark Hummel, Charlie Baty and Anson Funderburgh Golden State Lone Star Revue. Sponsored by the Nashville Blues Society, this exciting double bill is a union of blues greats from across the country.
GOLDEN STATE LONE STAR REVUE
This new supergroup boasts harmonica legend Mark Hummel, Texas blues guitar hero Anson Funderburgh (Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets) and West Coast jump blues guitar virtuoso Charlie Batey (Little Charlie & the Nightcats), playing a blend of original songs and classics that set a high bar for musical excitement. Their collective name reflects this history-making union of outstanding veteran blues artists from the Lone Star State and California, two longtime bastions of the music. All three performers are Blues Music Award winners and among the most respected figures in contemporary blues today.
THE ANDY T — NICK NIXON BAND
The Nashville-based Andy T – Nick Nixon Band has quickly developed an international reputation for excellence in traditional blues, garnering a Blues Music Award nomination for their second album Livin’ It Up. California-born guitarist Andy T, a veteran of Smokey Wilson’s and Guitar Shorty’s bands, brings a pedigreed six-string approach stoked by the fires of T-Bone Walker and Albert Collins, among other guitar greats, to the fore, while veteran singer Nick Nixon, who emerged from Nashville’s Jefferson Street music scene in the 1960s and was signed to the historic Chess label, is a powerhouse whose voice can only be described as a force of nature. This show is a special album-release celebration for their new album Numbers Man, scheduled for August 28.

Saturday evening, the fifth annual Bootleggers Bash event was held at Carnton Plantation. 210 guests gathered in the garden amidst the ambiance of string lighting and enjoyed an evening of mingling, snapping photos in the photo booth and tasting from Tennessee distilleries. The food provided by Chef Penelope was loved by all who attended, and guests found themselves dancing to the sweet acoustic sounds provided by Hot Club Time Machine. All proceeds benefited the Battle of Franklin Trust.
