The best entertainment value in Hickman county!

Come support Eagle staff and students at the 7th annual lip sync battle. The battle will be held at East Hickman High School in the auditorium on December 15th at 7 PM. Tickets will cost $5, and all proceeds will go to graduation for the class of 2023. Last year, the battle collectively raised $2,110. 

Whoever wins the battle will be awarded with a belt, custom-made by Mrs. Poth. The winner for last year was a large group of students and one teacher. The winners were Abby and Eric Aldridge, Braylee Clark, Ali Cochran, Ella Griffin, Maddie Hobbs, McKinsey Kinnard, Carson Mathis, Hetal Patel, Maleah Pinnix, Madison Reed, and former teacher Cheri Cutelle. Their performances were Hey Ya by Outkast and Feel This moment by Pitbull featuring Christina Aguilera.

For the second consecutive year, a company known as ELSNashville, short for Extreme Lighting & Sound, is hosting an astonishing Christmas light display known as ¨Holiday Wonders.¨ This display is located in Fairview, Tennessee at the Bowie Nature Park on Hwy 100 and will run from November 25th to December 10th with Thursday to Saturday hours. However, starting December 15th and going to December 23rd, the display will be on daily.

This display costs $25 per car. However, both retired and active military personnel, law enforcement officers, and other first responders can get a $10 discount when presenting identification. However, this is well worth the cost because the best part has yet to be mentioned.

When you arrive, they will tell you a radio station to tune your radio to. This radio station will play a playlist of Christmas music that the lights will ¨dance¨ to. The only other display like this in Tennessee is all the way in Lebanon! After you get through it the first time, you either have the choice to leave the display or go through a second time. However, you are limited to two times. Still, you get a lot of value for the money you spend.

Overall, the city of Fairview made a really good choice by putting this display on. It gives families something local to look forward to and also funds the city government. If this appeals to you and your family, and you want to buy tickets, you can do so online at https://www.elsnashville.com/ or at the gate.
