Please Neuter Your Pets

There are too many homeless pets, and neutering is a humane way to reduce these numbers. With the free vouchers available to Monroe County citizens in need, there is no excuse not to neuter dogs and cats. The distribution of these vouchers moves from one town to another over the course of the year, and this month is available in Sweetwater. Please print and post this flyer for your own employees and customers. Thanks.

The Tellico Plains Leaf Turning Arts and Crafts Festival has been expanded to two days this year, and is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, October 23-24, from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm each day. Last year's event brought crowds of locals and visitors, at a beautiful time of year.


Sign up now for a great weekend during the peak of the autumn leaf turning in the Cherokee National Forest. This 2 day event will be ideal for the many travelers heading to the mountains and looking for a memorable treasure that they will find or eat at your booth. The cost is still quite low for two days and promises to be more successful that our first year. Sign up now so we can get you a prime booth space for the weekend.
