Downtown @ Sundown STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY TONY CENTONZE The August edition of Downtown @ Sundown was a huge success. Pleasant weather, a great line-up of bands and maybe the biggest crowd Clarksville's recently-opened venue has ever seen, helped to create an absolutely electric atmosphere. Lynne Halliburton and her band Music for Mercy opened the show with a talented horn section, great vocals, and a tight rhythm section had the sounds of soul and jazz echoing off the downtown buildings. Next up was hometown-favorite The Beagles. Lead vocalists Cindy McElroy and Ivan Colon played favorites that span the decades from the 1960s to today's top hits. They were joined by guitarist Lee Miller for a show that had everyone dancing in the Downtown Commons.. The night's headliner was Broadcast 90s, billed as the ultimate 90s rock tribute band, which closed the show with a set of popular 90s guitar-driven hits.

Do you turn into a couch potato during football season? Don’t worry—with a bit of balance, you can stay fit and still enjoy watching your favorite sport. Fall means football, and football season can mean hours of sitting on the couch, cheering on your favorite team. It’s easy to skip exercise when you have other plans, but with each extra hour you spend sitting, you’re damaging your health just a little more. Fortunately, it is possible to have your cake and eat it, too. Rather than falling into unhealthy habits—and using the big game as an excuse to stay away from the gym another day—give this couch potato workout a try.
Eat This, Not That: Tailgate Season Edition One of the best things about football season is the food—unless you’re trying to make health-conscious choices. Every burger, hot wing, plate of chili-cheese fries and gooey, delicious dessert looks more tempting the longer you stay away, and suddenly the nutritious eating you were so proud of seems like the world’s biggest chore. Fear not, football fans. Whether it’s a tailgate at your alma mater or a viewing party with friends in your living room, you have dinner and snack options that let you partake of the time-honored tradition of eating and yelling at your favorite team, but without damaging your healthy eating streak.
Most televised sporting events include plenty of commercials. Next time you sit down to watch your team play, use these breaks to get in short bursts of exercise that will get your heart rate up and cut your couch potato time down.
Give these simple swaps a try:
Start by stretching during the pregame show, then rotate through these high-intensity exercises each time a commercial break occurs:
For the main course, serve turkey burgers in place of high-fat ground beef burgers. If you prefer wings, skip the skin or substitute grilled chicken strips with your favorite sauce.
CARDIO If there’s room, jump rope in 30-second intervals. March in place with high knees, then do jumping jacks.
CORE Planks and sit-ups are good for your core. For a challenge, try adding crunches in a variety of more difficult positions—for example, bicycles, reaching an arm to one side and then the other or with your legs crossed in the air.
UPPER BODY Tricep dips can be done using the edge of your sofa, as can incline press-ups. Move to the floor for push-ups.
LOWER BODY Try lunges and squats on your way to the kitchen or bathroom. Move to the nearest wall for 30-second wall sits.
MAIN COURSE
SNACKS/APPETIZERS Are you a dip person? Hummus or Greek yogurt-based dips are good replacements for traditional, high-fat cheese dips that are often bad for your heart. For an extra health boost, pair them with cut vegetables rather than chips.
DESSERT Grilled fruit—particularly pineapple—is a great dessert substitute that should satisfy your sweets craving. If you have questions about your fitness or nutritional needs, talk to your doctor. Don’t have a doctor? Tennova Medical Group is here to help. Our family practice office located on Tiny Town Road welcomes new patients of all ages. Call 931-502-2423 or visit TennovaMedicalGroup.com. Ask about our same- and next-day appointments. This publication in no way seeks to diagnose or treat illness or to serve as a substitute for professional medical care.
By the end of the game, you’ll be sweating as much as your favorite player—and your body will thank you.

BRANUM
STORY BY LIESEL SCHMIDT PHOTOGRAPHY BY BARLOW GIRLS PHOTOGRAPHY
Every successful Realtor knows the importance of a great showing, but professionally showing themselves is every bit as important as their showing of houses. The perfect marketing plan can mean all the difference in attracting attention to a listing and closing the right deal at the right price—and so, too, does the right representation of those Realtors make all the difference in developing the communities in which they are working. Focused on communications and handling public affairs initiatives for the Clarksville Association of Realtors, in addition to forging relationships with the community and local government lawmakers to promote the value of Clarksville area Realtors, is Josh Branum. He plays a role in keeping homeownership, community development, and the real estate industry in Clarksville on track and representing those interests at a local government level. “It’s such a privilege to work alongside Clarksville’s Realtors everyday. They give back to this community in so many seen—and often unseen—ways,” says Branum. Much of community growth and development is all about collaboration—and it’s that very collaboration that the 37 year-old former stay-at-home father of two loves about his work, and it’s the very thing that makes Branum and his colleagues at CAR so effective. “I love to collaborate, and I love local politics,” says Branum. “Many people believe that politics are something to steer away from; but I find that when we approach others with grace and humility, we can yield great results. Author Rob Bell describes politics as ‘the way
we organize our shared lives for the common good.’ When people are working together for the shared benefit of the community, great things can happen.” Part of making good things happen is giving back, and Branum recently joined the board of directors for Project Yesu, a local charity focused on raising money for at risk Ugandans to be fed and go to school—giving them what they need to thrive. That desire to see others thrive is another aspect of collaboration, and Branum’s own ability to thrive professionally has been key in his involvement in Clarksville Young Professionals. “CYP has been an invaluable way to get plugged into a vibrant, motivated group of young professionals,” Branum says. “Not being a Clarksville native, CYP helped me form relationships with colleagues that have a powerful impact in our community, and it’s made me a better professional. CYP is motivated to do great things, and I love being part of that energy.”
“When people are working together for the shared benefit of the community, great things can happen.”

STORY BY VICTORIA SANCHEZ PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSH VAUGHN The ladies of the Hopkinsville Junior Auxiliary got the opportunity to show off their cooking skills at their annual Tasters Luncheon Fundraiser on Friday, July 13th at the War Memorial Building in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Gruyere mac and cheese, pot roast, and double chocolate mocha trifle were among the Luncheon's spread of food, all prepared by the ladies of the Junior Auxiliary. This year the Junior Auxiliary created a cookbook with their favorite recipes, some of which were included in the luncheon. The proceeds from the luncheon go towards the Junior Auxiliary's mission of helping local non-profit and community organizations. Giving back to the community is the main goal of the Junior Auxiliary and through various fundraisers such as the Tasters Luncheon, they are able to raise enough funds to do so. Each month, the Junior Auxiliary volunteers for various service projects, serving organizations such as the Salvation Army, Christian Health Center, and Morningside Assisted Living, among other organizations.

SALUTE TO SERVICE
Suiting Up for the Mission Ahead
featuring: suits for soldiers Story by Liesel Schmidt
24 • VIP Clarksville Magazine | September 2018
T
hey say that the clothes make the man, and nowhere does that seem the case more so than for the men—and women—in uniform. More than just what they wear everyday during their time of service, those uniforms signify so many things that all tie into their identity: their devotion to their country, their belief in freedom, their courage, and their willingness to sacrifice their own lives for the greater good. But what happens when they no longer put on those uniforms? For many, that change of clothes is a challenging time—not only as they try to forge a new identity for themselves, but also as they go out on the search for a job. Knowing the very real struggle faced by the countless men and women separating from active duty service in the military each year, Suits for Soldiers helps ease that transition by
“When someone enters into the interview process, everyone must look good and have confidence in themselves; and I believe that being well-dressed for an interview truly will build confidence,” adds Greer Carr Agency insurance agent Marcalee Baxter. A representative for Farmers Insurance in Clarksville, Baxter has been at the fore of the area’s Suits for Soldiers program since its Clarksville launch in 2016. Now in its third year of collecting and donating suits and business attire, Baxter’s office has seen the amazing impact that “suiting up” can have on the very special—and very brave—individuals who receive them. “First impressions are very important to the interview process, and we’re able to make that first impression a great one,” Baxter says.
“First impressions are very important to the interview process, and
we’re able to make that first impression a great one.” - Marcalee Baxter collecting gently-worn suits and business attire and donating them to vets in the process of beginning their new life in the civilian world. More than just a simple suit, these donations do more than clothe their recipient—they instill a sense of confidence and readiness for the mission ahead, one that many vets would otherwise be unable to afford or be fully prepared to face.
“Hearing stories of the success that some of these suits have brought is the very reason that I continue to do what I do, and it’s amazing to see the kind of support we receive from the community of Clarksville in making it all possible,” she continues. “Last year, we donated more than 250 pieces of business attire to the American Job Center and Workforce Essentials; and we hope to give them more this year.”
“Receiving these suits does everything for their confidence as well as easing their fears of being professional enough,” says Eric Horton, CWDP of American Job Center and Workforce Essentials, who works directly with the soldiers at Fort Campbell to coordinate their transition into a new career field. “The suits are also an expense that many of them have none of the funds to pay for, so the fact that these suits have been donated for them to have free of charge is an immense burden lifted from their shoulders.”
With such close ties to the military community because of their proximity to Ft. Campbell, the people of Clarksville feel honorbound to do everything in their power to serve the men and women who have so faithfully served them. But more than a duty, it’s also a privilege, as Suits for Soldiers is a simple way of giving back, a way of equipping them for the new mission they’re facing—and the community couldn’t be more willing to open up their closets and join in that mission.

BIG FISH MICKEY FISHER
Memorial Golf Tournament
STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY TONY CENTZONE The annual Big Fish Mickey Fisher Memorial Golf Tournament drew more than 160 golfers to the Clarksville Country Club recently, who helped raise money for APSU scholarships.
“This is the ninth tournament we've held,” Eric Ellis said. “This is our fist year at CCC, and they have done a great job. The food is awesome, and the golf course is in great shape.” The Big Fish honors Mickey Fisher, a star basketball player at APSU in the 1970's during the Fly Williams era. After graduation, Fisher became a teacher at Fort Campbell High School, where he coached basketball and golf. Fisher passed away almost ten years ago. “In 2009, Coach Fisher retired, and soon-after he passed away,” Ellis said. “100% of the money raised at this tournament each year goes to scholarships that are given to children of military personnel. This year we awarded our 7th $20,000 scholarship. This year's recipient was Savannah Rye from NWHS.”
Jessica, David & Kyla Elliott
Mary Fisher, Mickey's widow, was busy overseeing the day's activities, but took a moment to talk about the event. “This tournament is in memory of my husband,” Fisher said. “We've had an unbelievable turnout, and more than enough volunteers. We sent out 24 teams this morning and 18 this afternoon. This allows us to give each of these students $20,000 over four years.”

Bill Stevens is the Executive Director of the CadizTrigg County Tourism Commission, He and his team, along with a lot of great volunteers make this happen for our city each year.” A few hundred people were enjoying the various vendors and activities during the afternoon hours, but things really started to heat up at night as more and more people came out to enjoy the great line-up of bands and entertainment.

O
n a recent beautiful sunny day a friend and I drove to the lovely city of Lexington, Kentucky. I had not visited Lexington in several years. What a vibrant city!
Horse lovers agree: this is THE place. Whether you are an experienced equestrian, a racing fan or just appreciate the beauty of horses, prepare to be thrilled at the stunning landscape they inhabit in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky. If your schedule permits, be sure to take a country drive and explore the Horse Country back roads. Head out in any direction from the center of town, and soon you’ll be surrounded by the rolling bluegrass pastureland that you’ve heard so much about. Neatly mowed fields trimmed with black or white fences stretch to the horizon. Pick up a “Bluegrass Country Driving Tour” at the Visitors Center downtown. 30 • VIP Clarksville Magazine | September 2018
I arrived in downtown Lexington mid-afternoon just in time for the last tour of the day at the new James E. Pepper Distillery located in the popular Distillery District downtown. This historic distillery offers guided tours that tell the lost story of an iconic American brand and included a tasting of their award-winning whiskey. The Pepper family brand is an iconic Kentucky bourbon produced from the American Revolution through 1958. Out of production for decades, it was relaunched in 2017 at the site of the original Lexington distillery of 1879.

After a long day of traveling and touring, I was ready to check into my hotel—21c Museum Hotel in downtown Lexington. More than a hotel, 21c Lexington welcomes both visitors and locals to experience rotating exhibitions, participate in programming and enjoy culinary offerings in the Lockbox. The hotel features contemporary art exhibition spaces that are open free of charge to the public. Guest rooms also feature unique art. A former 1920s bank, the 88-room boutique hotel is very contemporary and sleek. My corner guest room which overlooked downtown, was spacious and attractively appointed.
Ethereal Flight at Distillery District possible beer we can, sparing no expense on ingredients of our process,” you may expect both traditional craft staples and ambitious out-of-the-norm brews exploring the “funkier side of farmhouse brewing.” It is the only brewery in town with a dedicated yeast lab. www.etherealbrew.com Note: Inquire at the Lexington Visitors Center about A Brewgrass Trail passport in Lexington, KY. Nearby I spied a Crank & Boom Craft Ice Cream shop located at 1210 Manchester Street in the downtown Distillery District. I ordered a scoop of yummy Bourbon Ball ice cream. This creative ice cream shop even offers ice cream cocktails!
At 7 pm a friend and I enjoyed an excellent and creative dinner at Lockbox in the hotel. I love the convenience of dining in my hotel after a long road trip. Lockbox offers fresh farm to table options from acclaimed chef, Jonathan Searle, and an accommodating staff. While you’re there, notice “Tomorrow’s Weather,” a multimedia work of art that hangs from the ceiling. After a light cocktail Appetizer at Lockbox creatively named Temper Tantrum, we shared an excellent appetizer of warm ricotta and summer squash, slow roasted tomato, basil and grilled bread. My entrée consisted of scallops, creamed corn, country ham, crispy okra and mint, and my friend ordered a chicken dish. For dessert we shared a Berry Peach Cobbler with creamy corn black raspberry ice cream served in a cast iron skillet. Note: See recipe for Clearance, Clarence beverage in this article. (Of course, it contains bourbon!) www. lockboxlex.com The following day I was up early as I had a full itinerary. A few blocks from the 21c Museum Hotel is Doodle’s. “Comfort food with a conscience” is its slogan. This remodeled gas station has become a trendy spot for breakfast and lunch, specializing in local and 21c Hotel Room organic ingredients when possible. Get breakfast a la carte, including fresh buttermilk biscuits and beignets or try any of their signature items from the “dirty” shrimp and grits to the often limited-quantity strata casserole. Address: 262 North Limestone Street. www.doodleslex.com Next came a quick tour of the very large University of Kentucky campus and stadium. Over 30,000 students were busy moving into their dorm rooms and walking or biking to classes. I drove by Kroger Field Stadium, which is huge.

Guy Ramsey, Director of Strategic Communications for UK Athletics had this to say: “From UK’s first All-American, Clyde Johnson, to its most recent, Jon Toh; from Professor A.M. Miller to Coach Mark Stops; from old Stoll Field to Commonwealth Stadium to Kroger Field; and from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Southeastern Conference, Kentucky football holds a unique and storied tradition that began in 1881.

The Summit at Fritz Farm is located at the corner of Nicholasville Road and Man-O-War Boulevard. It is a one-of-a-kind finely curated mixed-used destination that blends retail, office space, a boutique hotel and a residential component.

University of Kentucky fan base known far and wide for its passion and loyalty. The Big Blue Nation loves its “Caturdays,” turning the area surrounding Kroger Field into an all-day celebration of Kentucky football. Kentucky fans are friendly and welcoming to visitors, at least until their Wildcats step between the lines.” Make time to tour Mill Ridge Farm near iconic Keeneland Racetrack, and experience a farm renowned for raising and selling first class Thoroughbreds. Owner Alice Headley Chandler’s father, Hal Price Headley, was the main force in the founding of Keeneland, and the first President of what is considered one of the greatest racetracks in the world! It was said of him that “every brick and stone at Keeneland has a drop of Hal Price Headley’s blood on it” After his death in a Keeneland barn in 1962, Alice inherited the land that would become Mill Ridge Farm. Just six years later she became the first woman to breed an Epsom Derby winner in SIR IVOR, and since 2000, Mill Ridge has raised and/or sold 34 Grade 1 winners including 7 Breeders’ Cup winners, 5 Horse of the Year Titleholders, 1 Kentucky Derby winner, 1 Santa Anita Derby winner, and 1 Bluegrass Stakes winner. Visitors are encouraged to see the land that inspired the heart of the Headley family in the late 1800s.
All too soon it was time to head home. There is so much see and do in the vibrant city of Lexington, Kentucky. “Visiting teams love coming to Lexington in the fall, especially when their games fall during an October weekend when Lexington’s Keeneland Race Course is conducting their fall race meet. It is really popular for fans to take in all the Thoroughbred racing action at Keeneland during the afternoon and then head over to Kroger Field for an evening football game.” —Niki Heichelbech-Goldey, Director of Communications, VisitLEX.com.
Named for its location atop the highest point of Bowman Mill Road, your Mill Ridge tour begins in the Breeding Shed where you will gain an understanding of why this land is so uniquely suited for the Thoroughbred and participate in the storytelling of the Headley family involvement in the industry. Contact Horse Country, Inc. Address: 2800 Bowman Mill Rd, Lexington, KY 40513. My last stop on this busy itinerary was lunch at Honeywood, joining acclaimed chef/owner Ouita Michel’s family of local restaurants. Honeywood is dedicated to using as much locally-grown meat and produce as possible in its menu items. This attractive restaurant offers an extensive menu featuring everything from sweet potato beignets (which I sampled) to a duck-fat basted New York Strip. I ordered a light cocktail called Pamplemousse consisting of gin, grapefruit, St. Germain (love it!), lemon, mint and soda. Then I had a Fried Green Tomato BLT served with herb-salted fries.

HAVING HOPE, HAVING BIPOLAR
Blake Jenkins Golf Scramble STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY TONY CENTONZE The 5th annual Having Hope, Having Bipolar Blake Jenkins Golf Scramble was recently held at Clarksville Country Club, with 26 four-man teams coming out to participate in an event that helps raise money for research into bipolar disorder. “We donated $100,000 to Vanderbilt University Medical Center last year from proceeds from our tournaments,” Jenkins said. “That money is to aid in research on bipolar disease. They are working on brain mapping in children in hopes they can begin to detect this disease earlier. “With early detection there may be hope for a cure. Sadly, our son did not receive an early diagnosis. I think, if he had been, he would still be alive today.” Vanderbilt research shows that more and more people are affected by the disease, and that allows researchers more opportunity to do a better job with diagnoses. Bryan Thomas & Randall Moore
“Most people don’t know what bipolar is until there loved one has an issue with it,” Jenkins said. “We lost Blake on November 21, 2013. Now, thanks to the great support we get from the community, we are doing everything we can to raise money for bipolar research.”

all fashion is number one on the watch list for every fashion forward woman, and September brings with it not only the official beginning of Fall, but also the glossy magazines whose page numbers reach Biblical proportions. They come filled with photos and articles of every fashion trend taking the runways by storm. September is nothing short of epic in the fashion industry, and we’ve got a few trends to share that will definitely be turning heads as the leaves turn.
F
“We’re going to see a lot of velvet, deep burgundy and mustard yellow, flare leg pants, and plaid this Fall,” says Kaley Drew, lifelong fashionista and owner of Couture Crush, where all the stylish women of Clarksville come for their fashion fix. Expect to see lush fabrics, various cuts, and deep colors for this year’s Fall staples. But along with the expected trends comes the unexpected, so pile them on and have fun falling for Fall fashion.
Red and Fuchsia
Statement Coats
Plaid
As temperatures start to cool off, breaking out the coat becomes an inevitable part of the day. But rather than it being a typical workday, blend-into-the-background piece, the return of the statement coat has made it a standalone fashion feature—the focal point of an outfit. So express yourself this Fall by pulling on a coat with some major impact.
Both vibrant colors—bright, cheery and certainly less of the harvest hues we normally associate with Fall. This is more of a reason to break out of the box and wear them this Fall. The runways were awash with these two anything but shady shades as fashion’s tastemakers projected their predictions for the trends of this season.
Who doesn’t love a good plaid? It’s timeless, it’s classic—at least, it always seems to be in menswear. In women’s fashion, not so much. But Fall 2018 has brought plaid back onto the fashion DO list, as the print is showing up in every size and color, and in everything from dresses to shirts, skirts, and outerwear. September 2018 | www.vipclarksville.com • 43
Busy Prints
Speaking of prints, the busier, the better, as runways were filled with patterns of every imaginable type, size, and color spread. Feel free to mix it up and experiment with busy patterns, but keeping things in the same color family is key. Be bold with your choices rather than staying shy— you’ll prove that being a busy body is definitely a DO.
Animal Print
According to some people, animal print is a neutral—which means that it goes with anything and everything. And if Fall 2018 is anything to go by, that philosophy certainly holds true. Whether paired with bright colors or more traditional neutrals, animal prints bring a certain…meow factor…that adds some major wow to even the most ordinary outfits.
Western
Call it cowboy gear or western wear, the trend has returned—and it’s often mixed with an 80’s vibe to achieve a far more interesting look than the typical show of fringe and boots. Take the best of both worlds—the kitten heels, the oversized earrings, and the attention-grabbing shoulders so iconic to the 80’s, combined with all the things we know and love from the Old West—and you’ve nailed Fall’s must haves.
Shearling
Depending on your point of view, outerwear is a necessary evil—or perk—of the cooling season. Getting in on the cool factor is shearling, the iconic fuzzy white wool that often adorns suede jackets. Designers have put the fuzzy fabric to good use in everything from vests to full-on coats. No matter your style, there’s a look to love—so watch the Runway hit the Realway and get ready to fall for fashion.

Farm to Market Dinner STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY LUCAS RYAN CHAMBERS For the second year in a row, the City of Clarksville hosted the Farm to Market Dinner so that local residents may have a night to remember while using all locally sourced ingredients in an unforgettable setting. The event, which is held for one night only and sold out in a record time, is set on Strawberry Alley and has everything from live music, a long dining table, and beautifully strung lights to provide the perfect ambiance. The menu, which was prepared to perfection by none other than Clarksville’s Nicoletta’s Catering, showcased the best of what the Clarksville Downtown Market has to offer every Saturday. Many of the meats, herbs, vegetables and desserts are grown and prepared by vendors of the Downtown Market. Since the past two years the event was sold out and tickets are very limited, be sure to keep an eye out for this event next year. Beth Poppas & Melinda Kelly-Major

Wonderkids Triathalon STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY TONY CENTONZE
Clarksville Parks & Recreation recently hosted its 6th Annual Wonderkids Triathlon at New Providence swimming pool. “This event is very popular,” Parks & Rec's Tina Boysha said. “We max out at 150 participants, and again this year,we hit that number about three weeks prior to the registration deadline. “This triathlon is a swim, bike, and run event for kids from three to twelve years old. They compete in one of three age groups 3 – 5, 6 – 8, or 9 – 12. Our numbers are limited because of space, but we hope to add a category for kids 13-15 next year. “We are still trying to work out the logistics on that, but we have a lot of people asking about that age group.”

Mayor Kim McMillan & Tevin Walker Barbara & Jake Berthiaume
Academy Sports is a major sponsor of the event, Once again, they provided bicycles that were given away to some of the lucky triathletes after the competition. Sponsors and organizers are already working to make next year's event bigger and better.

Handbags for Hope STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY TONY CENTONZE The annual Clarksville Association of Realtors (CAR) fundraiser, Handbags for Hope, was held recently at the Wilma Rudolph Event Center. Kayla Pierson is CAR's Young Professionals Committee Chair for this year's event. “This is our fifth year,” Pierson said.” CAR raised $100,000 last year, and our goal for this year is $115,000. Part of the money will go to Urban Ministries Safe House for Women, and a portion of this year's proceeds has been allocated for the Mike Groves Memorial Scholarship Fund.”
Garnetta Hunt-Johnson & Shannon Kitchen
Josh Branum talked about CAR's continued commitment. “Urban Ministries Safe House does so much for women and children in the community,” Branum said. “And for years this has been a very important cause for CAR. Safe House does so much good work here at home, and our realtors are so invested in our community. This is a great way for us to give back.” People donate gently used or new purses for the silent auction. Local companies and organizations fill purses with valuable items for the live auction.
Amanda Williams & Josh Branum
“In our first four years we raised over $226,000, CAR's Deb Haines-Kulick said. “We are happy to say that we sold out this year's event, she said. “Four hundred people attended this year’s event to have fun and help us raise money for these great causes. We are so thankful to all who assisted us with this fundraiser.”

THE ALL NEW OFFICIAL SEC
tailgating Cookbook
Story by Lyda Kay Ferree, The Southern Lifestyles Lady
Introducing “The All-New Official SEC Tailgating Cookbook” (Oxmoor House, August 7, 2018), by the Editors of “Southern Living,” the ultimate guide to game day with 150+ crave-worthy tailgating recipes, including those specifically developed for each of the 14 NCAA Southeastern Conference football teams.
Kentucky Wildcats (page 94). With this tailgating cookbook in hand, you’ll take your tailgates to biblical levels.
From Alabama to Vanderbilt, each SEC team is profiled with information on school traditions, iconic football moments, legendary coaches and players, and photos. In the “Tent Talk” sidebars, you’ll find fascinating football trivia to quiz your fellow tailgaters (find the answers on page 269).
VIP: There are so many tailgating cookbooks on the market now. What sets your book apart from the rest?
As you flip through the pages, you’ll discover a menu of four recipes, plus a customized spritzer, jalapeno popper, and whoopee pie for each team. No matter where your team loyalties lie, you can prepare dishes perfectly suited for game day, including Loaded Potato Skins for
A Conversation with April Colburn, Assistant Editor, Meredith Corporation
APRIL COLBURN: There are so many features that sets “The AllNew Official SEC Tailgating Cookbook” apart from other tailgating cookbooks. First, this cookbook is officially endorsed by the SEC conference. Unlike other books out there, the SEC schools themselves have given this book their stamp of approval. Second, in addition to dozens of mouthwatering tailgating recipes that are good for any occasion and fan, we also include team-specific recipes for each of the

14 SEC schools. All Southerners love a menu that’s perfectly suited to the occasion, and all hard-core SEC football fans love foods that reflect their teams, so for each SEC team, we give a menu of 4 recipes plus 3 bonus, custom-created recipes: a spritzer, jalapeno popper (as an appetizer), and whoopie pie for dessert. You’ll never again have to wonder what to make for game day! Third, the book has a tabletopdecorating component. For each of the SEC teams, we give a fullspread image of a tablescape that’s decked out with school-themed décor and that displays the team recipes. These gorgeous tablescape images show what tablecloths, dishes, centerpieces, and more to use to make your table ready for game day. Simple tips on top of the image show how to pull together the festive look.
APRIL COLBURN: This is an all-new version of the original topselling tailgating cookbook from “Southern Living” that came out in 2012. This new edition offers 100% new content—all new recipes and images. Readers will find all of their favorite features from the first book in revamped glory. This includes profiles of each of the 14 SEC member schools; more than 150 delicious game-day recipes, including recipes for each school; expert tailgating advice; and beautiful
Next, each of the SEC schools is profiled with information on iconic coaches and players, historic games and traditions, and photos. These profiles will delight both long-time, nostalgic fans as well as new fans looking to learn more about the SEC conference. Furthermore, football trivia is given throughout the book in sidebar features. The information is given in Q&A or T/F format, which makes for fun games to play with family or friends either in the kitchen while you cook or at the tailgate while you eat. All the trivia answers are in the back of the book. Also, Paul Finebaum, with whom most SEC fans are familiar—he’s a southern sports authority who hosts both radio and television shows on the SEC Television Network—has written the foreword for the book. As an expert on SEC football and a humorous and witty writer, Finebaum’s foreword is just as entertaining as you’d expect. VIP: Are there any new tailgating trends this season? APRIL COLBURN: Homegating—many people prefer to tailgate from the comfort of their living rooms and backyards rather than traveling each week to the stadium. While many recipes in this cookbook may be made stadium-side, there are also recipes included that call for the stovetop or oven, making them perfect recipes for homegating. The team-specific recipes and festival school tablescapes in the book help to keep the atmosphere spirited. What I like to call “easy-chic”—This trend expresses tailgaters’ desire to make their spread of tailgate foods and the tailgating table look collected and themed without spending a ton of money or time doing so. The tablescapes in our book show exactly how to achieve that balance--a fun and put-together look yet one that is uncomplicated. Plus, the school tablescapes can easily be adapted to accommodate whatever materials your readers have on hand. They may purchase new pieces that they can use each game day, or they can use what they already have on hand or borrow from a neighbor—the choice is theirs. As always, anything specific to one’s team of choice is “in.” Not only do fans love flashing tents, chairs, coolers, and more emblazoned with their team logos, they also want foods that communicate their gameday devotion and school spirit. The menus and school-customized bonus recipes allow fans to make foods that highlight iconic flavors and dishes from their school’s region or, in some cases, showcase their team’s colors. VIP: Share an overview of the SEC Tailgating Cookbook with our readers.
photography (there are close to 250 full-color images throughout the book)—plus a brand new tailgate decorating guide. First, turn to pages 5 and 6 and look at the Table of Contents and page on How to Use This Book. These pages will explain to readers exactly what’s in the book, how the book is organized, and how to navigate it. The book begins with a chapter on helping readers prep for a successful day of tailgating, giving advice on food safety, grilling, tailgating supplies; there’s a checklist of what to bring so tailgaters don’t forget anything-and even a list of Southern manners to keep in mind that will charm opponents if not defeat them. This manners section is called the Ten Commandments of Tailgating and is written in light-hearted style. The recipe chapters follow. These include breakfast and brunch; drinks; snacks and appetizers; soups, stews, and chilies; main dishes; side dishes; and desserts. With each recipe chapter in addition to recipes, readers will find two of the SEC schools profiled with photos; quick facts, stories that highlight iconic coaches and players and legendary game and traditions; and finally the full-spread image of the decorated school table and menu…. Throughout the book, readers will find interesting football trivia in sidebars. The facts are presented in Q&A and T&F format, and the answers are all located in the back of the book. All of these features make this a must-have cookbook for SEC football fanatics, sports lovers of all kinds, and simply anyone who enjoys eating delicious food among friends. VIP: Talk about the recipes in this tailgating cookbook. APRIL COLBURN: We developed all these recipes to make sure that they fit the bill for being crave-worthy dishes that fans truly can make on game day—either in the comfort of their own kitchens or at the tailgate site….We took inspiration for each menu from foods that that school or region of the South is known for. For example, on the Kentucky menu, you’ll find a recipe for Game-Day Hot Brown Turkey Sliders. A hot brown is a sandwich that originated in Kentucky…. In some cases the foods reflect the school colors. This is best seen in the customized school spritzers and jalapeno poppers. Not all the recipes in this book belong to a school menu. There are plenty of other fantastic all-purpose tailgating recipes, such as Sweet Potato Bread Pudding Cups, Sausage-Cheese Dip, Cranberry-Apple Breakfast Crumble, and Wonder Wings.

BBQ CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS Serves 8 // Hands-on 30 minutes // Total 1 hour, 10 minutes This simple recipe should become a staple of your game-day table. The apple cider vinegar and paprika lend the barbecue sauce a bright, smoky flavor. If your tailgate site doesn’t allow grills, prepare these drumsticks at home and reheat them on-site. This pairs particulary well with Wedge Salad on a Stick (pictured at left); see page 199 for the recipe. • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil • 1 cup finely chopped white onion (8 ounces) • 4 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon) • 2 cups ketchup • 1⁄2 cup packed dark brown sugar • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika • 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper • 1 tablespoon kosher salt • 1 tablespoon black pepper • 16 chicken drumsticks (about 4 pounds) 1. Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium. Add the onion, and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, paprika, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon each of the salt and black pepper; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Process with an immersion blender until smooth, and reserve 1⁄2 cup. 2. Preheat 1 side of a grill to medium-low (300°F to 350°F), leaving the other side unlit. Sprinkle the drumsticks with the remaining 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Place the drumsticks over the unlit side of the grill, and grill, covered, 20 minutes. Turn the drumsticks, brush with 1⁄2 cup barbecue sauce, and grill, covered, 20 minutes. Turn the drumsticks, brush with another 1⁄2 cup barbecue sauce, and grill, covered, until cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer the drumsticks to the lit side of the grill, and grill until the skin is crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the reserved 1⁄2 cup sauce.
SLOPPY JOE DIP Serves 12 // Hands-on 30 minutes // Total 45 minutes Sweet, meaty, and slightly saucy, this dip truly tastes like a sloppy Joe! You can skip Step 3, if desired, and instead place the dip in a slow cooker on the WARM setting at your tailgate site. • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil • 1 1⁄2 pounds lean ground beef • 1⁄2 cup chopped yellow onion (from 1 onion) • 2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon) • 1 (15-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes • 1⁄4 cup ketchup • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar • 2 tablespoons tomato paste • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 1 tablespoon white vinegar • 1 teaspoon paprika • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper • 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt • 1 (8-ounce) package pre-shredded Cheddar cheese (about 2 cups) • Corn chips (such as Fritos Scoops) 1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the beef, and cook, stirring often, until the meat crumbles and is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, ketchup, Dijon, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire, vinegar, paprika, red pepper, and salt. 2. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese. 3. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese, and bake at 400°F until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Serve with the corn chips. 60 • VIP Clarksville Magazine | September 2018

2ND ANNUAL MONTGOMERY COUNTY
STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY TONY CENTONZE Stacy Streetman talked about the event and expressed her thanks to those who made it such a huge success. "This year, funds raised at this event will go to support Two Rivers Company," Streetman said. "They are not getting the same funding they once were from the City of Clarksville or Montgomery County. So we thought this was a great way to get local business leaders to show their support for TRC, which in turn does a lot to support downtown." Streetman says that downtown is a vital part of this area's overall economy, and local leaders came out in force to do their part. "We had 26 teams of 4 participating this year," Streetman said. "Thanks to all of our sponsors, volunteers and players, we raised 30% more money than last year's tournament. We are very pleased with the outcome." The TRC Marketing and Promotions Committee, along with TRC Staff and others, met weekly to make this event possible. "We appreciate the teams that played and all the businesses that supported us through sponsorships and/or the donation of prizes," Streetman said. "Many local businesses and individuals worked really hard to make this a success. And, as I always say, you can't have a great event without great volunteers."

Proceeds from the auction, ticket sales and t-shirt sales raised a total of right at $30,000 for the ALS Association. "ALS is a cruel disease, but Susie continues her fight everyday. Her faith and the tremendous support she has received gives her hope, and lots of hope is what©s required to deal with this

FEATURING CLARKSVILLE ZOMBIE HUNTERS STORY BY LIESEL SCHMIDT PHOTOGRAPHY BY COLE PHOTOGRAPHY
72 • VIP Clarksville Magazine | September 2018
M
ore than just a wacky way to get a major hit of adrenaline, Clarksville Zombie Hunters is an annual event that brings people of all ages out to play—and indulge in their inner thrill-seeker—as they hunt and shoot zombies with glow-in-the-dark paintball guns, navigate their way through challenging mazes, ride through fields infested with the undead, and challenge themselves to escape from locked rooms. It’s an unforgettable experience for everyone—and one very cool way to kick off the fall season with a scream (or two…or more. We don’t judge). “We saw a need in Clarksville for some exciting things to do going into the fall season, and a zombie-themed park seemed like an ideal way to create something fun and totally different for the whole family to do together,” says Clarksville Zombie Hunters mastermind Eric Yow, who started CZH in 2014 with business partner Matt Cole. An attorney with Goble & Yow, PLLC, and a local builder and owner of Persimmon Creek Farms respectively, Yow and Cole put their brains together to create a truly unique experience for the Clarksville community that would also draw people from the surrounding areas to join in the fun, using the popularity of these brain-craving members of the undead as inspiration for the theme of their massive seasonal endeavor. But taking a field and bringing zombies into the mix wasn’t quite big enough for Yow and Cole. They knew that they would have to do more to keep the thrills coming, so they came up with eight experiences that would bring people back night after night, year after year. Now in its fifth year, CZH is even bigger and freakier than ever. “We’re excited for this season and can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions to this year’s new twists,” says General Manager Chuck Waller. Speaking of twists, hayrides are a staple at most fall festivals, but the Zombie Paintball Hayride Experience takes it to a whole new extreme, taking everyone on a zombie-hunting experience through the woods on a Zombie Assault Truck/Trailer equipped with a turret-mounted paintball gun. Add in some black lights and glow-inthe-dark ammunition, along with a variety of well-crafted scenes, fog, and pyrotechnics, and this is one unforgettably intense ride. No leisurely walks through the woods here as participants in the Zombie Mission Haunted Trail are armed with pump-action zombie assault weapons outfitted with a rail-mounted flashlight as they navigate a half-mile trail and shoot down every zombie in sight. A tactical assault like no other, the trail is hardly for the faint of heart. Lovers of a good maze will scream over the “Pitch Black” Dark Maze, a navigational challenge for even the most directionally-skilled. It requires maze-goers to find their way through thick fog and pitch darkness as they work through a series of seemingly endless hallways and doors to make their way to the end.
A mental feat not for the weak-willed, the “Death’s Door” Escape Game is a race against the clock that challenges teams to work together and follow a series of clues and puzzles until they figure out how to escape. With two unique versions, “Death’s Door” is sure to keep everyone on their toes. And keeping toes—and brains—in motion, the “Speed Bus” Escape Game is set at a high speed that gives teams less time on the clock as they try to escape from being locked in a blacked-out school bus that’s stranded on the side of the road. It’s wise advice to always be prepared, and the Shooting Gallery provides zombie hunters in the making a place to test their shooting skills and practice before heading out on the Zombie Paintball Hayride or the Zombie Mission Haunted Trail. Need a zombie-free speed rush? Pedal Kart Racing gives everyone ages six and above the chance to break out their inner speed demon and burn some rubber in a three-lap race in the park’s oversized pedal karts. As an ideal way to enjoy some down time between all the thrills, the park offers free admission to watch the outdoor movies on the big screen, sit by the bonfire, climb the kid’s rock wall, or grab some great grub from some of the local food trucks who come out to feed the hungry crowds (brains are not on the menu). Beyond creating a thrill ride of every type imaginable, one of Yow and Cole’s biggest thrills in bringing CZH to Clarksville each year is the chance to give back—and they do it in a big way. Yow and Cole partner with charitable organizations and community programs to raise money for their various needs as well as offering free Zombie Paintball Hayrides to the friends and families of charitable organizations such as Clarksville Association for Down Syndrome and Camp Rainbow on the first night of the season. “It’s a way for us to give back to the community and provide a special blessing to people,” Yow said. And that’s one goal that’s definitely got heart.

Miss Lucille's Peach Party STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY TONY CENTONZE The Peach Truck and the annual Peach Party made its triumphant return to Miss Lucille's recently with great food, music and cocktails. “The Peach Party is something we do every year as a celebration of the Peach Truck choosing Miss Lucille's as one of its destinations,” Luci Armitstead said “We've been with them for a while now and we've watched them become a pretty big deal. They were recently featured on the Today Show.” The peach-themed party always features creative takes on food and cocktails. This year, Miss Lucille's team prepared peach margaritas, peach bourbon, and a twist on a Moscow Mule that incorporated vodka, cranberry juice, and of course, peaches.

“This year's peach delicacies included garden salad, pasta salad, bourbon and peach sliders, and chicken and peach skewers,” Armitstead said. “We also had peach salsa and peach cobbler with ice cream.” “This is the third year of the event and we really enjoy it. We love peaches. We were also thrilled to have Nashville-favorite Carl Wockner back to perform for us at this event.”

Uso warrior week STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY LUCAS RYAN CHAMBERS The Ft Campbell USO hosted the first ever Warrior Week for active duty soldiers and their families at the Historic Fontanel Mansion. The festivities lasted for days, kicking off with a singer/songwriter concert inside of Fontanel Mansion. The next few days only got bigger and better with events for soldiers that included scuba diving, goat yoga, wakeboarding, zip lining, and even a 50-mile bike ride. Other organizations even joined in from around the country like FXWell, WaterDogs Scuba, Caprine Fitness, Kroger, and Mission BBQ. Participants even had a chance to hang out in the VIP concert for the Hunter Hayes concert and enjoy a fun night of drinks and food. The action packed week was concluded by a special concert at the Hard Rock CafĂŠ in Nashville featuring the world renowned USO Troupe.
