It’s been a great week travelling across Tennessee getting to know you better.
I want to give you a little update on what we’ve been doing.
On Friday, I was in Johnson City for the Washington County Lincoln Day Dinner. What an awesome crowd! I really enjoyed visiting with everyone, and Senator Corker’s keynote address was right on target.
On Saturday, Crissy and I were in Columbia, Tennessee to celebrate Mule Day. It was a lot of fun, but I understand why Senator Alexander says you always want to be near the front – ahead of the Mules!
Jerry Mansfield did an outstanding job setting everything up for us. Our morning started at the Farm Bureau breakfast which is always great. Then we stopped by Columbia Academy where Mayor Gentner and Hazel helped Crissy and I make lots of new friends. Then there was the parade and a few other great stops. You can view some of the photos and share your favorite Mule Day stories with us here.
After a beautiful day in Columbia, we drove over to Dayton for the Rhea County Lincoln Day Dinner. It was another great crowd, and I was eager to see old friends and meet some new ones. It was great to get a chance to hear Governor Dunn again.
On Monday afternoon, we drove to Crossville where Cumberland County Mayor Brock Hill pulled together a lunch group at Boston’s. It was a great crowd – standing room only! Then we drove over to Cookeville for another great meeting.
I’ll be visiting Nashville on Wednesday for the Republican Women’s Day on the Hill Luncheon. I know that will be a great event and I’m looking forward to it.
Expect pictures from the luncheon soon. I’ll be back in touch with another update, and keep checking www.BillHaslam.com for new photos and information.
Your Friend,
Bill Haslam
