Nestled in an unexpected area near downtown Clarksville, there is a cozy and inspiring retreat. A place where an artisan can see and feel handcrafted furniture, explore a plethora of unique plants for your home and garden, and purchase special gifts with flair. This place is the creation of local Tori Fleahman, a creative soul that is sharing her unique style and talents with our community at her new business Sprig & Spire.
Looking for a gift that is truly special? Searching for a custom furniture piece for your home and tired of mass produced low quality options? Seeking the perfect plant to add to your collection? Sprig & Spire is the perfect place for you!
Tori’s vision for the renovated service station has taken shape and it is gorgeous. Creating an earthy yet refined atmosphere while embracing the character of the unique building, Tori showcases her handiwork
By Paige Eisemann
among gorgeous living things set against the industrial original feel of the building. Located at 714 Red River Street, Sprig and Spire perfectly melds the old with the new. Flooded with natural light from the massive windows (both old and new), one could easily imagine her expertly crafted pieces becoming a part of their own home. Gifts and merchandise carefully selected and representing Tori’s own style are available for purchase, great for wedding and housewarming season. Guaranteed to be loved by any recipient!
The transformation of the former service station has been much longer than anticipated, but totally worth the effort. Everywhere you look both inside and out, there are details
6 Clarksville Living COVER
that reflect Tori’s style. Adjacent to the former Vulcan factory property, Sprig and Spire is located in an area off College Street that is primed to become a bustling part of the city. The proximity to both APSU and the downtown area with new restaurants, the multi-purpose arena, and future shopping and living spaces make the space one step ahead of a revitalization that has already begun in the area. Maintaining the character and details throughout the space, Tori has mixed the old with the new. Visitors often remark to her that they didn’t even know the building was there, but once they have visited they are certain to return! Even a delivery driver who brought packages while on his route recently returned later in the week with his family to observe
Tori working on some custom builds. Local artisans are sure to enjoy not only Tori’s woodworking, but also the space that she is creating around her shop. For the grand opening on April 2, people gathered throughout the store and into the outdoor garden
space. Enjoying lambs and goats available for petting and feeding, people were excited to hear about the future vegetable garden space Tori is planning to help educate visitors about growing and maintaining their own garden areas.

Woodworking is not something people usually think of when considering female craftsmen. Tori says that she comes from a family of creatives, with relatives who do everything from baking yummy macarons to visual arts such as painting. One of her favorite things about Sprig & Spire is how she has been able to not only educate but also encourage other artisans. Clarksville is primed for a resurgence of creative culture, and Tori is right in the midst of it- sharing her craft and encouraging people to do things
that they really love to do. She says that her favorite part of building her business is inspiring women and all creative people to be more confident, learn something that they can pass on. “Some of these things you have to do hands on, you can’t learn them from a book. I invite people all the time to pop in, ask questions about their home projects, their hobbies, or even questions about woodworking tools.” As a busy mother, she is not only building her business but is passionate about sharing and encouraging not only her children but others as well.
While in the store, shop among some of the custom made woodwork made by Tori. If you don’t see what you are looking for, or you have been searching for something in a specific size or shape, inquire! People are often surprised to learn that having a bespoke piece created is often about the same price as mass produced items, but you wind up with
something that is made of quality wood by the hands of someone honing their skills that will last a lifetime and can be handed down.
Generational furniture has become far less common as people go for the ease of pressed wood pieces such as IKEA items. Seeing the beautiful grain and artfully angled edges on Tori’s custom creations puts other items to shame, and what could be better than owning something made

One local family is creating a place where Clarksville can shop local handcrafted items, enjoy amazing food and beverages, enjoy a fun evening out with friends, or hold a special event- all in one place. The Goobs Cafe and The Goobs Small Business Warehouse is ”a small business made up of small businesses” and they have something for everyone!
Located at 260 Needmore Road, this special place is owned and operated by Hayley and Christoper Gubelman. You can tell that this is a family business from the moment you enter the doors. To say that they are passionate about sharing with our community is an understatement. Their time and hard work shows throughout the facility, spotlighting local vendors and their wares. The newest addition of The Goobs Cafe is no exception. The bright and happy space offers plenty of seating, whether for an intimate date or chat or a large gathering of friends. The menu offers something for everyone. The specialty
drinks menu is a fan favorite, offering all sorts of unique options from the Gimme S’More (a toasted marshmallow and mocha frappe with graham cracker crumbs), the Pretty Woman (a lavender and coconut frappe with caramel drizzle), a Butterbeer Macchiato (iced butterbeer and espresso with sweet cream) and a Berries & Cream Spritzer (wild berry and vanilla Italian soda spritzer). Coffee fans as well as soda fans will find something to enjoy. More traditional options are also available both in iced and hot variety, with Americano, Macchiato, Cappuccino, and Frappe being very popular for coffee drinkers.
By Paige Eisemann
The non-coffee options include various teas, chai lattes, lemonade, hot chocolate, and more. There is also a wide selection of Boba drinks available, and you can choose a Thai or Taro tea base or simply add tapioca or bursting boba to any iced beverage or frappe.
spring into summer fest 2023
Oak Grove is gearing up for its 16th annual Spring into Summer Salutes Ft. Campbell Festival, which promises to be a weekend filled with exciting activities for visitors of all ages. This year’s festival is set to take place on May 27-28, 2023, and is expected to draw a large crowd of locals and tourists alike. The festival, which is organized by the Oak Grove Tourism & Convention Commission, offers an array of attractions, including live music, carnival rides, games, arts and crafts exhibits, and food vendors.
One of the festival's main highlights is the live music, and this year, country music artist Chris Janson has been announced as the headlining act.

His hit songs include “Fix A Drink,” “Good Vibes,” “Buy Me A Boat,” “Done,” “Things You Can’t Live Without,” and “Drunk Girl,” which was nominated for CMA Song of the Year and ACM Video of the Year. Artists like Tim McGraw, Justin Moore, Cody Johnson, and Hank Williams Jr. have also recorded Janson’s songs for their own projects. According to Traci Cunningham, Executive Director of Oak Grove Tourism & Convention Commission, Janson was chosen as the headliner because of his high energy performances and his support for the military. Janson’s love for the outdoors and collaborations with Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s have also made him a go-to guy for
young country for the last decade. Rolling Stone has proclaimed him “a live legacy in the making,” and he is a frequent presence at the nation’s biggest country festivals, tours, and unexpected sit-ins.
The festival will take place on the grounds of the War Memorial Walking Trail Park at 101 Walter Garrett Lane, Oak Grove, KY, 42262. All activities at the Spring into Summer Salutes Fort Campbell Festival are free and open to the public, including the concert, parking, carnival rides, and shows.

The people of Tennessee have been in a state of sorrow and mourning for the last month. What happened in March at The Covenant School in Nashville has been on everyone’s hearts and minds-regardless of their political standing. Protests at the Tennessee State Capitol followed the shooting and a trio of legislatures nicknamed “The Tennessee Three” became the face of the protests.
Grace Watson has been in the middle of it all. 20-year-old Watson, a faith and social justice student at Belmont University, spent the first part of this year as an intern at the Tennessee State Capitol working under Sen. Jeff Yarbro.
According to the Tennessee General Assembly website, the Legislative Internship Program ran from January 9 to April 28 of this year and was for college juniors and seniors, as well as graduate students, in related majors. These students earned a stipend of $400 a week in addition to college credit. Watson, of course, had the privilege of being one of these students.
She says she performed many typical internship tasks: retrieving copies, filing papers and answering phones. However, she also fulfilled more complicated duties specific to the State Capitol. Answering calls from constituents, helping people with unemployment claims, filing legislation and going to session were also part of her daily jobs.
On Capitol Hill:
One interns experience at the State Capitol
By Alexandra Arnold
Her internship was not all work, like one many think. The interns also went on tours of important historical and governmental locations, heard from guest speakers and worked on projects.
According to Watson, she and the other 2023 interns went to places like the Tennessee State Museum, the Bicentennial Mall, the Tennessee State Library and Archives and Tennessee’s Supreme Court. Lt. Gov. Randy McNally and Speaker Cameron Sexton were among the guest speakers that shared their experiences and knowledge with the interns. As for projects, past interns have worked on the Great Strides Project for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and
For Watson, she believes that one of the most important things she has worked on has been her own legislation. Sen. Yarbro allows his interns to write their own legislation for an issue that is important to them. Watson drafted a legislation that, if passed, would allow those who are incarcerated and unconvicted to gain an absentee ballot and vote in elections. This is an issue that Watson is passionate about and wishes to see solved in the near future.
Watson is barely out of her teens and is already working on important issues-and working with important people. She said working with such important people at such a young age was “interesting”. She explains:
I think you kind of get to see the more human side of them behind what you might see in the news or what you might read in a headline. You really get to know them and you get to know their ideals behind why they fight for what they fight for…And I think it’s just getting to see them, you know, more humbly. You see them exhausted, you see them happy, you see them sad. It’s a really cool relationship that you get to form.
She wasn’t the only one who got to meet these important people. Her family and friends also got to meet the legislators. Watson had the opportunity to be the chair of the Family Day committee and put together a day where the interns’ family and friends

could come up “on the Hill” and see how things are run. This was her favorite experience of her internship. “It was really cool to let my family in on that inside scoop I guess you could say of like, this is how the legislature works, this is the little things that get done to make sure that our state works. I just really loved getting an opportunity to show that to my friends and family.”
Watson had a lot of fun with her internship, but it did have its challenges. She struggled some with separating her emotions from what was going on at the Capitol and in the government. She says it was hard to remain “not too personally involved in your work”. Working in a place like the State Capitol, where you are constantly dealing with heavy issues, can take a toll on you if you’re not careful. “I think when I first started those losses were hitting me so hard because I was so passionate about the things that my office was doing,” she explained.
One may think that another struggle would be dealing with a possible change in political views. While at the Capitol, you are surrounded by all types of viewpoints and all types of sides. It would be impossible to not let that have an effect on you. However, for Watson, her views were strengthened, not changed. Experiencing it for herself, and seeing how laws, amendments and the government actually affect others is what solidified and reinforced her beliefs. She had an abundance of information at her fingertips as well. It gave her more knowledge to be able to speak on the issues she’s passionate about.
what happened in March made it personal for our state. It has been a woeful time for Tennesseans. Everyone, including state legislators, were saddened, and continue to be saddened by the horrific news from Nashville. It has, without a doubt, caused great stress for our state government, seeing as they have been working tirelessly to come to the best solution. However, according to Watson, the environment has been “uplifting”. “You could see people supporting each other and coming together,” she said. The legislators are really showing that they care. Many of the legislators were very passionate about finding the right solution and making things better. For Watson, that was comforting to see. With this knowledge, there is hope that one day soon things will be better. That’s something everyone-regardless of their political standing-can agree on.
skin care. Clinical results.
She learned more than just politics at the Capitol. Being in such a fast-paced environment taught her to “come prepared and to go with the flow”. Coming to work with positivity and an open mind is key. She said that she was expecting to come to a very strict and high profile job. It was, but you also didn’t know what was going to happen when you came into work. You had to be on your toes.
What happened in Nashville at The Covenant School was one such event that was not expected. School shootings have been a significant topic for years in our country, but

Acouple of years ago, as I listened to the All It Takes Is a Goal podcast with Jon Acuff, he asked this question, “If you’ve always wanted to, why haven’t you yet?”
I have thought about the question many times since that day, and it has prompted me to be intentional about doing some things I’ve said I always wanted to do. Two things that quickly come to mind are that I wanted to ride a horse (which I was able to do last summer) and hike to the bottom of a waterfall (which we did at Fall Creek Falls last year)! Obviously, these are not necessarily life changing activities, but nonetheless they are things that I had talked about for months and without being intentional might have never completed. At my age, I am keenly aware that my physical health could take a turn quickly, so I want to strike while the iron is hot.
When we think about creating a summer to remember, many times our minds go to elaborate family vacations or expensive purchases that feel out of reach. I would like to challenge that thinking a bit. I want to encourage you to create a summer to remember bucket list. You may choose to list only one or two things that you could easily accomplish within the next week or you may choose to list fifty or more that

Where they are: We welcome all children, at all levels of development! Come explore our playscapes, for some unguided play time.
What to expect in class: Children are given free range to explore the setups, with their adults within a hug’s reach. Let your child take the lead and run out some wiggles! Special Open Gym times will sometimes have extra activities like a no-mess art activity, a story-time or a surprise visit from Gymbo!Benefits:
Physical: Allowing children to lead their own play offers time for them to try things repeatedly without worrying about the structure of a class, or trying something again they did in class earlier!
Cognitive: Unguided play supports early brain development.
Social: Sharing a space with mixed ages allows for children to learn and practice more sophisticated social skills and learn from their peers.
Adults: Let your little one guide their own play, which has countless benefits. Spend quality time with them doing what they love to do, and mostly run out some energy!

What is a UFO? An Un-Finished Object!
A UFO is anything you have started or stashed! You may have bought the kit or a pattern and fabric and just never got started on it. Or you may have started, ran out of time or encountered a problem, and put it down! As with many of our projects, it's just hard to find the time (or enthusiasm) to get back to them. So any project you've put in a drawer, the top of the closet, under the bed or on a shelf could qualify as a UnFinished Object for this Challenge!
Just follow the directions below and come see us at the shop.

The Roxy Regional Theatre is looking to spread the word of the Bard in a fun, engaging and entertaining way. SLOSHEDSPEARE incorporates an abridged Shakespeare play with some adult beverages thrown in. With every donation of $5 or more from you, our audience, our players can receive life-saving sustenance in the form of a shot of top-shelf liquor. Thus, they become inebriated throughout the performance, not only for your entertainment but, more importantly, for your education. Join us while we entertain and educate audiences with a fresh and modern-ish take on the works of the literary lush himself, William Shakespeare, in this special Star Wars-themed installment of the Bard's famous revenge tragedy.
While SLOSHED-SPEARE incorporates the consumption of alcoholic beverages, we advocate and encourage the need for responsible drinking and designated drivers. Furthermore, we require all players to have a designated driver for every performance. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357.
