Highland Games come to POTG

The 17th anniversary celebration for the Celtic Cup Coffee House held on St. Patrick’s Day was quite the community celebration. Piper Ed West played bagpipes during the day. Father Murphy conducted a Blessing Ceremony, and the Triquetra Irish Dance Group danced.

On a chilly morning on March 12, the opening of a new commercial kitchen for Out of the Blue Granola marked another major milestone for Blue Monarch, a local non-profit, which serves women in recovery and their children. After a ribbon cutting hosted by the Tullahoma Area Chamber of Commerce, the dedication began with the history, as told by Susan Binkley, who founded the business in 2008. Three granola employees shared their journeys, and the benefactors explained why they were inspired to provide the new kitchen. Lydia Fulks, a new baker for Out of the Blue, told the crowd, “I am so proud because this is the first time I have worked a job sober after fifteen years of addiction,” which illustrated the significance of the business and its purpose.
