Hollywood Comes to Franklin

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in July in Downtown Franklin! Unfortunately, there is no snow forecast.

The cast and production crew of "A Little Women's Christmas" are shooting this modern retelling of the classic novel for Great American Family's "Great American Christmas 2024" lineup!

This holiday production will continue on the sidewalks of Main Street and inside some local downtown stores through the 23rd.

Please note that there are no street closures. However, pedestrians will be intermittently stopped during filming.

🏐 Apex Boys Volleyball Club: Building Leaders On and Off the Court 🏐

Apex Boys Volleyball Club, founded in 2023, is more than just a club—it's a movement bringing the exciting world of boys' volleyball to our community.

As the only competitive boys' volleyball club south of Nashville, Apex is pioneering the sport for young men in our region. The club offers both indoor and beach volleyball opportunities for boys aged 10 to 18, filling a gap in local sports offerings.

Under the leadership of Tim Cooper, the club's director and co-founder, Apex Boys Volleyball has seen tremendous growth in its first year. Tim, a seasoned volleyball player and coach with nearly a decade of coaching experience, brings a wealth of knowledge and a genuine love for the sport. His vision extends beyond just teaching volleyball; it's about shaping well-rounded individuals who excel on and off the court.

At Apex, young men are challenged to become leaders in all aspects of life. They learn to compete wholeheartedly, win with humility, and face defeats with dignity.

What sets Apex apart is its commitment to holistic development. Coached by former collegiate players, the athletes enjoy engaging practices and competitive games while being part of a supportive community. Cooper's experience is particularly inspiring—he's coached players from age 7 to 60+ and even led two teams overseas to Thailand and Ivory Coast for competitions and humanitarian work.

The club offers a comprehensive program that includes a full Fall season from August to February, Beach Volleyball in June and July, indoor camps, and private lessons.

Looking ahead, Apex Boys Volleyball plans to expand within Maury County and surrounding areas, advocating for boys volleyball in schools and working closely with the TN Boys Volleyball Association to establish school teams. This club is not just about volleyball; it's about creating opportunities, building character, and nurturing future leaders.

Tryouts: August 10 & 17
Available for ages 10-18yrs old. No previous experience necessary, just a desire to learn one of the most exciting and fun sports around.

9 AM - 12 PM
Hustle Factory Sports Complex
5191 Joe Peay Rd, Spring Hill

Tonight: C1 Church Hosts Outdoor Movie Night

Outlook on Gas Prices in Tennessee

Last week, gas prices across Tennessee dropped by five cents on average. The current state average is $3.11, which is seven cents higher than a month ago and two cents more than a year ago.

Despite the anticipated upward pressure on gas prices, the cost per gallon decreased in Tennessee. If current market conditions continue, prices are likely to remain stable this week. Currently, Tennessee has the third least expensive average gas price in the country.
