Main X 24 - Meeting schedule and volunteers needed
The next meeting is October 20th at 5:30 pm @
green/spaces. I apologize for any confusion.
While we have your attention here are a couple of updates/request:
1) David Hudson met with the city last week and due to two other major
events/parades on December 5th, we will need 18 volunteers to man
intersections on the day of the parade. If you are willing to
Volunteer with parade, please email Roger Halligan @
rogerphalligan@yahoo.com
2) Due to Jefferson Park not being completed the post parade event
will be at Battle Academy. The Parade will start this year at
Jefferson Park and end at Battle. We had tried to extend the parade
through Cowart Place but the City has asked we keep the same route as
last year (albeit, reversed).
3) Battle Academy is planning the post parade party which will include
a bake sale. If you are willing to bake some south side delights for
this day or wish to volunteer, please contact
lorihairrell@restartchattanooga.org
4) Ellen Hays is coordinating the pancake breakfast and if you are
willing to volunteer for the breakfast or sell tickets, please contact
her directly @ ellenmhays@gmail.com
Finally, if you are working on an event and have more details for us
to include in the schedule, please forward them to either (or all)
David, Katie or myself. We hope to put out a draft schedule next week
for everyone to see the great progress that is happening. We have
attached a copy of the latest draft schedule of known events in
progress.

Tracing the Tracks, a WTCI-produced documentary, on Tuesday, June 30 at 7:30 p.m.
Choo Choo Hosting Documentary Preview
From NewsChannel9 - Direct Link
June 18, 2009 - 12:06 PM
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - June 16, 2009 - To continue the Chattanooga Choo Choo's year-long centennial celebration, WTCI-TV (PBS) and the Chattanooga Choo Choo are hosting a preview screening of Tracing the Tracks, a WTCI-produced documentary, on Tuesday, June 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Centennial Theatre. The screening is free and open to the public. Tracing the Tracks explores the history of the Chattanooga Choo Choo and the history and evolution of the rail system in the eastern and southern regions, focusing mainly on Chattanooga. The use of the song, "Chattanooga Choo Choo", made famous by the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1941, is a unifying theme of the documentary.
"As a PBS station, WTCI strives to uncover and tell the important stories of our community," said Paul Grove, WTCI President and CEO. "Tracing the Tracks is a documentary that has allowed us to explore the history of one of Chattanooga's most recognized icons, the Chattanooga Choo Choo. We are proud to partner with the Chattanooga Choo Choo as they celebrate 100 years."
This screening marks one of many events the Choo Choo has already hosted this year to celebrate its anniversary, including a recent performance by the Glenn Miller Orchestra and a kick-off party in December.
"We are thrilled to be able to celebrate our 100th year with the premiere of a documentary focused on the history of the Chattanooga Choo Choo," said Jim Bambrey, General Manager of the Chattanooga Choo Choo. "I can think of no better way honor this milestone and look back on our incredible past. To have our community's PBS station produce this documentary with support from numerous community sponsors has been amazing."
Production of the documentary is sponsored locally by the Chattanooga Convention and Visitors Bureau, Comcast, Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, McKee Foods, and Coca-Cola.
Tracing the Tracks will premiere on WTCI Wednesday, July 15 at 9 p.m. with repeats scheduled July 15 at 11 p.m., July 16 at 8 p.m., July 26 at 2 p.m., and July 30 at 8 p.m.

Parking changes at Wednesday Market
From Main Street Market email update...
We are making some changes this week to the market parking. First off, we will be closing the lot where the farmers set up to all cars. We are planning on having a couple more farms to join us at the market soon, so we need the extra space for them. Also, we feel that the lot has been getting a little too dangerous with all the cars pulling in amongst children playing. We want to make the lot a safe sociable place where you can come and meet new friends. So, this week you will need to either park in the lot next to us ( we will have a sign showing you where), or in the large lot behind Hills Floral shop off of Long St. You can walk from the Hills Floral lot to the market by coming in behind Hiroshi's and then walking between Hiroshi's and their neighbor; then please carefully cross Main St. You can view the map to the right to see where parking is available. Do not forget, you can also park on Main and Williams St. We hope that these changes will create a safer more enjoyable market for everyone, please let us know what you think.
