On July 18th, Tennessee’s Lynnville Blackberry Festival gets underway as one of the sweetest events of the summer in the state! Held right in the historic downtown area of the small town of Lynville, this one-day celebration returns for its 26th year with the kind of charm, flavor, and easygoing fun that makes small-town festivals so special. Running from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the festival fills downtown with fresh blackberries, homemade desserts, live music, local vendors, family activities, and plenty of good food. Guests can look forward to blackberry pies, jams, cobblers, and other sweet treats, along with food trucks serving burgers and festival favorites throughout the day.

The Miss Blackberry Pageant remains one of the event’s most loved traditions, while kids can enjoy games and activities made for the whole family. Lynnville itself adds a lot to the day, with its old railroad-town feel, historic storefronts, and local stops like Soda Pop Junction and Colonel Littleton. The town is located in Giles County, and several of its downtown buildings are part of Lynnville’s historic character, giving the festival a setting that feels like a step back into classic Tennessee. While you’re there, take time to browse the shops, enjoy the music, grab something blackberry-filled, and soak up a summer day in one of Tennessee’s most charming little towns.

Due to circumstances beyond our control the Senior Citizens Center will not be receiving the food items collected by the Post Office.

With this in mind we ask that anyone who had planned to donate to the food drive to please bring it to the Senior Center so we can keep our resources in our community assuring that no one should ever miss a meal.

While most of what we do at the Petersburg Senior Citizens Center is aimed at serving the over 55 crowd of Petersburg and the surrounding area by offering meals, activities and information that can help them live a better quality of life. We also have events and services that are open to the whole community. Such as our monthly pancake breakfast and occasional bake sale, but most importantly we have a food bank here at the Senior Center that is available to anyone in need.

We have delivered food to folks we knew needed a little help. We have made sure there is food in the Blessing Box on the square thanks to Warren Gills efforts. We have yet to have anyone walk through the door and pick up food.

We do not have a monthly food giveaway but our doors are open Monday through Friday from 9:00am to Noon. There are bags of food ready to go that contain enough items for a couple of days or so.

So please come to us if you have a need. No matter your age or situation. We all have a need at times in our lives.

The Post Office will soon be doing their annual food drive by placing bags on your mail box for you to put nonparishable food in. That food will remain here in Petersburg to help our fellow citizens. Between that and the donations we receive from kind hearted locals we can ensure that there is food available whenever someone is in need.

Please spread word of our food bank so those in need will know we are here.
