Grinders Switch Music and Arts Festival, hour from Nashville, hours of cheap fun

Tomorrow, September 10th, The Hickman County Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the Grinders Switch Music & Arts Festival on the courthouse square in Centerville, Tennessee.  Entertainment, music, theatrical skits, arts, crafts and lots to eat will begin around 10:oo in the morning and last until after 10:00 Saturday night.  There’s free parking and it doesn’t cost anything to attend.  The Grinders Switch Radio Hour (or two) will also be part of the festivities.
