Message from coach James Shannon of the 12u team…
We just won the City’s 1st youth softball title ever as well as the 1st state tournament for the conference that Springfield youth softball plays in, Southern Softball.
The girls went 4-0, outscored their opponents 49-30, and won the title game 14-5 vs. Greenbrier. The tourney was held at Charlotte Park in Nashville.
How You Can Help the team
We are trying to raise funds for a commemorative plaque at Travis Price Park to recognize what these girls accomplished.
If you would like to help get these girls a commemorative plaque, just drop any money off at The Center in Springfield and clarify that it is for the 12u Softball Championship Plaque at Travis Price Park.
Thank you to all.

Volunteers Needed for Robertson County
The Long Term Care Ombudsman program in middle TN is getting ready for volunteer certification training. Our program provides advocacy for residents in long-term care facilities, which includes nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and homes for the aged. There are over 180 long-term care facilities in our 13 county district and we rely very heavily on volunteers. We need volunteers in Robertson County and would greatly appreciate your assistance in spreading the word about our upcoming volunteer certification training by running the following in the public service section of your newspaper. We would appreciate having it run until July 30, 2021.
Mid-Cumberland Human Resource Agency’s Long-Term Care Ombudsman program advocates for the rights of thousands of residents in nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, and homes for the aged in Robertson County and 12 additional counties in Middle TN. The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is a partner agency with the United Way of Robertson County. Ombudsman staff consists of three District Ombudsmen, an Ombudsman Assistant, and 23 trained volunteers. Trained, certified Ombudsman volunteers normally pay regular visits to these facilities where they spend time with residents, monitor conditions, investigate complaints, educate regarding abuse and neglect and protect residents’ rights. The program offers mediation, complaint resolution, and public education for residents and their families. Now that Covid restrictions are being lifted, the need for independent, objective observation and reporting is greater than ever.
The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is actively recruiting for volunteers in the Robertson County area. Volunteer applicants must pass a background check and attend a 16 hour classroom training.
The next training session will be held August 11th & 12th. Those interested in assisting have until Monday, August 2 to contact the program by sending an email to [email protected] or by calling 615-850-3918.

(Greenbrier, TN) Brandon Frank Construction Partner with Viridian Real Estate
Throughout the course of owning my construction company, I saw a need with my customers and homeowners for real estate assistance and help with scheduling inspection repairs, etc. I started contemplating opening a real estate company about 5 years ago and had a shortlist of real estate agents that I would like to work with as a Broker which included Jackie, who I have been friends with for 20 years. Ironically, she had already started the process in getting her Broker’s License when I reached out to her about starting our own real estate company.
Jackie passed her Broker’s Exam in March and Viridian Real Estate Partners LLC was started in March as well. My company was in the process of remodeling a commercial building in Greenbrier that I owned, and we made the decision to make it our office. We took the next few months to get the office set-up and ready for business, and I am proud to say that we have signed on 6 Affiliate Brokers with our company to date.
I often refer to us as a “hybrid” real estate company because of the vast and unique services that we can offer to our Buyers and Sellers through our Agents due to the affiliation with my construction company. Here are some of the services that we will be offering to our Clients and Agents of Viridian Real Estate Partners, LLC:
• Agents will not have any monthly fees.
• Agents will be empowered to directly negotiate their commission percentages with Builders/Developers.
• If one of our Agents is representing the Buyer(s) or Seller(s) of a deal and there are items needing to be addressed due to Home Inspections or Punch Work, those items can be scheduled through my construction company and will be given top priority for completion. If the Buyer(s) or Seller(s) cannot afford to pay for those items out of pocket, they will be offered the option to pay in full at Closing.
• If a potential Client is looking to build a new home but needs to sell theirs first, if they qualify with our finance team, my construction company can finance the new home while they stay in their existing home allowing for a smooth transition.
• Our Viridian Real Estate Partners LLC Agents will know about any new Developments and potential projects coming as soon as the approval process starts. This gives them a “pre-sale” advantage that other Agents will not have.

The Turning of the Pig’s Last year At City Hall 2021 and a look back over the years
For over 100 years, Greenbrier has celebrated the Forth of July with the Turning Of The Pig at City Hall. For loyal fans, this year will be somewhat bittersweet. The city has announced that next year (2022) the event to be hosted at Martin Louise Park.
So what is the Turning Of the Pig any way? The Turning of the Pig (set for July 3rd from 5-9 pm behind Greenbrier City Hall) will host many vendors, food, entertainment, games for the kids, and of course, BBQ. There will be BBQ Nachos and Sandwiches, plus BBQ by the lb at the event and the morning of July 4th (6 am until it’s gone, behind City Hall).
The event has a long history in Greenbrier. It’s hard to find anyone that hasn’t heard of Greenbrier’s Turning Of The Pig. It’s the place to see and be seen, especially during an election year. Greenbrier’s Historical Society President Sheila Watts invited Smokey Barn News to come by for a look back at the history of the 4th Of July and the Turning Of the Pig in Greenbrier. “Greenbrier’s first 4th of July celebration occurred July 4th, 1910 and was located at a shady oak spot on the old highway (Old Greenbrier Pike).
“The event moved to what was then the school grounds which later became the City Hall grounds in 1916 and was sponsored by the Greenbrier’s Parent/Teacher Association.
“All the proceeds benefited the one school we had at the time. As we developed three schools, it got a little bigger. The event was celebrated on the 4th for decades until the band boosters took over in the mid-1980s, around 1988 (we think) and it was moved to the evening of July 3rd and renamed “Turning of The Pig” because they sell BBQ pork for the holiday.
“This will be the last year it will be held at city hall, we’re told. The event will be moving to Martin Louise Park in 2022 and we’ll start a new page of Greenbrier history over there. The event starts Saturday, July 3, 2021 beginning at 5:00 pm.”
