Giddy Up for Milkshakes! Southern Sugar Saloon Opens on Trotwood Ave

The Southern Sugar Saloon opened their doors to the public yesterday at their new location across from Columbia Academy at 1153 Trotwood Avenue. 

The western-themed sweet shop is known for their locations in Lewisburg (currently closed) and Winchester, TN. We’re glad they’ve brought their milkshakes and sweets to us here in Columbia! 

Some words from their website will give you an idea of what you can expect when you visit…

Howdy, y'all! Welcome to the Southern Sugar Saloon, where we're fixin' to share some down-home sweetness with folks near and far. As a cozy, family-run joint, we take pride in rustlin' up a heapin' helpin' of treats that'll take you on a journey down memory lane, from them 'remember when' candies to fancy-pants chocolates and creamy fudge. We've got over 21 flavors of ice cream, thick-as-molasses Western milkshakes, and a whole mess of candies that'll have you hollerin' for seconds. So, mosey on down and find yourself somethin' that'll make your taste buds do a little two-step and plaster a grin on your face!

It's time to rustle up a sip of the frontier with our handcrafted milkshakes, each named after some of the greatest men and women of the American West.  Get a taste of history at the Southern Sugar Saloon. Lasso yourself a shake today!

Local Artist Lucy Thomas Showcases Work at Columbia Welcome Center This April

Visit Columbia is recognizing Women in History month and kicking off Spring with an exhibit featuring local artist Lucy Thomas. This exhibit of beautiful paintings will be on display and for sale through the month of April at the Columbia Welcome Center located at 713 N. Main Street in downtown Columbia, Tennessee.

Thomas earned her degree in Theatre Arts & Music from Birmingham Southern College where she attended school on a voice scholarship. She has always considered herself a creative, but she believes she found her true purpose when she began painting in her late 40s. Thomas says “There is no greater pleasure for me than for my art to make someone smile and give an uncomplicated rush of happiness to the viewer.”

You can find out more about Lucy Thomas by visiting her online on Instagram: @lucyslifeinpictures or her website: lucyisanartist.com. The Columbia Welcome Center invites everyone to experience her exhibit during business hours Monday-Friday from 10am to 4pm, Saturday from 10am to 3pm, and Sunday noon-3pm.
