From Culleoka to the Hall of Fame: Casey Holt Honored at UNA Homecoming

A big honor this weekend for one of Maury County’s own. Casey Holt, a 2003 graduate of Culleoka Unit School and proud product of Maury County Public Schools, was inducted into the University of North Alabama Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday during Homecoming festivities in Florence.

Holt was a TSSAA Mr. Basketball finalist in 2003, wrapping up a standout high school career at Culleoka before heading to North Alabama, where he became one of the most decorated players in program history.

From 2004 to 2008, Holt set school records for games played and started in a season, and scored more than 640 points his senior year — leading the Lions in both scoring and rebounding. He helped guide UNA to a 27–9 record and a trip to the Division II Elite Eight.

Following his collegiate career, Holt went on to play professionally overseas before returning home to Tennessee, where he and his wife, Ashley and 3 children live. He currently works as an insurance agent at Farm Bureau of Tennessee located in Spring Hill.

The induction ceremony was part of UNA’s Homecoming celebration this Saturday in Florence, Alabama.

Farmstead Market Announces October 25 Closing, Thanks Community for Five Great Years

From Farmstead Market’s post on October 7th…

The seasons have turned five times since we first opened Farmstead Market, and with each year, we have been blessed by your kindness and unwavering support. As one chapter ends and another begins, we are sad to announce that our market will be closing on October 25.

From our first day in 2020 until now, you've filled our market with joy, conversation, and a shared appreciation for local food, artisan goods, and our wines. We are so grateful for the wonderful memories and the community we've built together. We hope to see you in our final weeks to say a proper goodbye.

Starting this weekend, much of our remaining inventory will go on sale! You won't want to miss this early holiday shopping opportunity. We will stock perishables (milk, eggs, etc) through October 18th, and keep you posted on where you can continue to find our Farmstead eggs and bread after the Market closes.

In the meantime, we look forward to continuing to serve you at our bistro, @rue_6_bistro, on 6th St in downtown Columbia.

45% almost all store items!! Grab an early Christmas present, or an item you’ve had your eye on!
