It’s summertime, and time for the Rockwood Public Library’s 2015 summer reading program.
This is the 27th annual statewide summer reading program in Tennessee. The theme is “Every Hero Has a Story!”
“We will be exploring all heroes — real and fiction — this summer,” said Rockwood Library Director Margaret Marrs. “These programs are designed not only to encourage the individual reading habits of older kids, but also to inspire and delight preschoolers.”
The Best Barbecue Ribs on Strutt Street barbecue cookoff will begin at 11 a.m. June 13 at 180 Strutt St., Oliver Springs.
All proceeds from the entry fee go toward development of Oliver Springs’ Carmichael Park.
Contestants will need to bring one slab of ribs to be prepared on site for judging; contestants may bring their own table and chairs for the event.
