Indoor Aquatic Center holds Wettest Egg Hunts
April 2, 2012
Clarksville, TN – The Indoor Aquatic Center played host to what is sure to become one of the most popular Easter events in Clarksville, The Wettest Egg Hunts. On Saturday, March 31st, thousands of brightly colored eggs were put into the swimming and wading pools, to await the hundreds of children who would plunge in to seek out a variety of prizes. Many of the eggs floated, but some were weighted causing them to sink to the bottom of the pool.
The event was made possible by the generous support of Sango Pool and Spa, and the Clarksville branch of the YMCA. “We couldn’t have done this event without them,” said Matthew Dixon the Special Events Coordinator for the City of Clarksville Department of Parks and Recreation. Other area businesses provided prizes which were printed on laminated slips of paper that were inside some of the eggs.

March 20, 2012
Clarksville, TN – Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan announces a Women’s Health Fair will be held on March 21st, 2012 from noon to 6:00pm at the Kleeman Community Center.
“I am very excited about this event. Women’s health specialists will be there to help women make their own health a priority. Studies show that women are often reluctant to take care of themselves because they make sure their family is healthy first. But, we also know that so many diseases that women face today, like heart disease, can be addressed if it’s caught early. This is an opportunity for women to learn how to take charge of their own health and make their families healthier, too,” Mayor McMillan said. [Read more]
