Cheryl Ford, President of the Main Street Partnership, sent a wrap up of the successful 2nd Annual Progressive Dinner held on February 2, with almost 100 guests in attendance.
The event started with appetizers being served at businesses in the historic Main Street district. Strolling from one store to the another, guests enjoyed a short walking tour of the downtown area.
The 12 participating businesses included the Antiques Mall and Jans Antiques, State Farm, Hornbuckle Flowers & Gift, Flowerland, CopperLeaf Spa, Ladles to Linens, Preston Morton, Bell's Pharmacy, Art and Espresso, Tickled Pink and Redneck Ranch.
Dinner was served at Cibo Vino's, Double C Steakhouse and Brewbaker's Pub. Guests gathered at Crossroads for dessert, light music and videos. Desserts were provided by Art and Espresso, Frosting! and Creative Cakes.
By all reports, the guests enjoyed the chance to visit shops they hadn't been in previously and enjoy a night out that was a change of pace in the middle of winter.

Surprise your Valentine with The Great Romance getaway
Anita Williams - Thursday, February 04, 2010
Tim Carmichael is the owner and creative force behind the award-winning B&B, Thee Hubbell House. We were chatting over coffee at Art and Espresso one afternoon this week. He told me about a couple from Paris who recently came to the B&B for their honeymoon.
My first thought was, hey, what a great idea! Paris is not that far away,
and what a wonderful way to enjoy a luxury honeymoon without all the expense and
hassle of flying to some crowded honeymoon destination.
Tim told me one of the things they requested was rose petals strewn on
their bed. I couldn't help but smile. First, because I know Tim and his team
will go to great lengths to cater to the wishes of guests. Second, because I
realized a romantic getaway is something couples of any age deserve - with or
without rose petals.
Which brings me to the special Valentine's package. Tim has teamed with
Double C Steakhouse and Crossroads Music Company to create The Great Romance
package. It's based on the special package they offer, with extra touches to
make a couple's stay truly memorable.
Thee Hubbell House is a gorgeous mansion on a quiet street within walking
distance of the historic Main Street district. You will stay in the Master Suite
that features a king size brass bed and a charming clawfoot tub. A rose will be
waiting for you as well. Dinner at the Double C Steakhouse includes your choice
of any entree on the menu. You'll also get tickets to Crossroads.
Rhett Butler is performing on February 13. He is an astonishing musician
and dazzles the audience by playing two guitars simultaneously.
It's important to note that The Great Romance package is available
throughout the month of February. And you can call Tim and create your own
package. Every room at the B&B is a romantic retreat.
The value of the package is $300, but the price is only $215, all taxes included. Call Tim
today to make your reservations. 903-342-5629 or toll free, 1-800-227-0639.

Here's a peek at the menu items:
Brewbaker's Reastaurant & Pub - your choice of Roast beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes, vegetable and side salad or Tilapia with mango salsa, rice, vegetable and side salad.
Double C Steakhouse - their famous 8 oz. Flat Iron Steak Dinner
Cibo Vino's - your choice of Lemon Chicken Piccata with Angel Hair Pasta or Lasagna Red.
Tickets get snapped up fast, so get yours as soon as possible at CopperLeaf Spa, Art & Espresso or the Chamber of Commerce at the depot.
Appetizers will be served from 4:30-6:30 pm at the participating merchants , dinner from 6:30-8:00 pm. Dessert, provided by Frosting!, Creative Cakes and Art & Espresso, will be served at Crossroads from 7:30 pm-9:00 pm . You'll get a map of participating merchants with your tickets.
