The Tennessee State Parks Running Tour is bringing back Cedars Frostbite! A running race in Lebanon, Tennessee consisting of a Half Marathon. The inaugural race was in 2008 with 375 finishers. In 2009 there were 335 finishers. In 2010 the direction was reversed in order to have the runners more spread out before entering Hwy 231.There were 468 in 2010. The race used chip timing for the first time in 2011 with 738 registered. The first 2 miles were covered with ice. The 2012 race had a strong, cold wind from the North, making for a brutal last 3 miles. In 2013 running on Highway 231 was eliminated by having a turnaround on Hurricane Rd at Jennings Pond Rd. Return to the finish via Dude Trail and E Richmond Shop Rd. In 2016 a new state age record for the distance was set by 14 year old Diego Zuazua from Nolensville, TN.

Ryman Auditorium

Sometimes, a mystical, life-changing connection can be closer than you think. In 2017, Grammy Award-winning guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada had recorded some instrumentals in his Austin studio, and he started looking around for a vocalist. He knew a lot of singers, but he wanted something different. Meanwhile, Eric Burton had recently made his way to Texas. Born in the San Fernando Valley, he grew up in church and then got heavily involved in musical theater. He started busking at the Santa Monica pier, where he brought in a few hundred dollars a day and developed his performance skills. Burton traveled through the Western states before deciding to settle down in Austin-setting up his busking spot on a downtown street corner, at 6th Street and Congress, for maximum exposure. The results of that inauspicious beginning can now be heard on the self-titled debut album from Black Pumas, the group that Quesada and Burton assembled, which has become one of the year’s most anticipated projects.
