Once again, the Pulse encourages everyone to take advantage of Murfreesboro’s extensive Greenway system at their leisure. Even after much exploration and coverage in years past, I am finally realizing just how long of a trail system this city’s Greenway is. The Greenway offers over a dozen entry points and miles of paved trails for all to enjoy, much of it winding alongside the Stones River, and even crossing over it at points on some neat bridges.
Whether you are training for a marathon, strolling with your date or doing a little turtle watching, enjoy the Greenway with your friends or family, or alone to clear your thoughts.
And play music; always, play music, make art.
June 21 marks the Summer Solstice and the annual community rhythm session presented by Everybody Drum Some at Old Fort Park. Come on out! Feel the beat.
Earlier that afternoon, local entrepreneurs will gather at Party Fowl for the June Connection meet-up. These monthly meetings of small business owners in the area have resulted in numerous deals, referrals, connections and ideas. Come on out to that as well!
Also, on the evening of June 21, Main Street Music hosts the big night of storytelling and style, United We Style, with all of the proceeds benefitting United Way.
The following day, June 22, the Pulse celebrates Take Your Dog to Work Day with a special photo event at Cultivate Coworking. This edition contains a highlight of some local pets in the workplace and other local pet-friendly restaurants and businesses to visit.
The Square will see quite a crowd on Friday, June 8, as the Boro Art Crawl holds its June installment of that community art event, City Hall Rotunda will hold an award ceremony for the winners of the Focus on the Boro photo contest, and Experience Music presents a community praise and worship event on the Square, proclaiming “Jesus is still alright.”
Farmers markets are back in action, and we’ve already been frying some squash and cooking cabbage and sprinkling cilantro. Get with Happy Harvest at the Murfreesboro Saturday Market for all of the produce you can handle. Thanks to them, Batey Farms, Somewhere Place Else Farm, Molly’s Sweet Shop (and honey!) and other area agricultural enterprises for keeping the tastes of Tennessee on the Mayos’ table
A couple of local personal trainers will host some free group workout sessions this month as well. Antoine Fitness presents a fitness bootcamp at the Willow Balm facility at 10 a.m. on June 9; personal trainer Jim Genet then leads a June 18 community workout session at Fountains at Gateway at 6 p.m.
Otherwise in Murfreesboro, we have International Folkfest, concerts from the Shacklett’s Photography balcony, Movies in the Park, Poetry in the Boro, Splash Out and much more. Keep on turning the pages, and thanks for the support, Murfreesboro.
Be at peace now. Remember, through overcoming your trials, not obtaining possessions, will you be “perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
Peace,
