I just realized this morning that Goo Goo Clusters aren’t everywhere! That is so weird. They’re such a part of my growing up and everything that I just assumed everybody knew about them.
So if you don’t know, just imagine a candy bar that has peanuts, caramel, marshmallows and chocolate. Or the peanut butter ones or the supreme which has pecans! We don’t mess around down here. We find all the best stuff and mashed it all in one candy bar! Saves time! It’s not pretty to look at, but it’s just the best lump of deliciousness ever.
And they’re as Nashville as the Cumberland River. They’ve been around almost 100 years and have been part of the Grand Ole Opry for a really long time. And now to realize that it’s just a southern thing, it’s weird. Luckily you can order them!
TTFN!

I guess they’re expecting about 100,000 people at Riverfront Park for the show, so if that’s not your idea of fun, here are a couple of other options for how to celebrate the fourth:
1. Shores & Stripes — This one’s at Nashville Shores on July 3 and 4. It has a boat parade, a beach concert with the Stretta band, fireworks, and a Dive-In Movie of, you guessed it, “Independence Day.”
2. Music City Hot Chicken Festival — Head over to East Park for some hot chicken. This one runs only 12 to 3.
3. The Nashville Sound vs. Round Rock Express — It’s fireworks night and a big show is scheduled to follow the game (AAA baseball, if you didn’t know). If that’s not enough to get you there, the first 2,000 fans receive a complimentary foam guitar, courtesy of CMT.
Have a good one!

I love, love, love the fourth of July! I love the picnics, the fireworks, the summer, the whole family feeling! Everyone’s in a great mood. This year’s Nashville celebration is called Let Freedom Sing.
It will happen down at Riverfront Park and is a huge event in the city. There’s going to be all kinds of stuff happening. Festivities start at noon with the free Family Fun Zone. Music starts 3:00 pm and includes The WannaBeatles, Les Kerr and The Bayou Band and The Lost Trailers.
The main stage kicks off at 7:00 pm with Max Q (a barbershop quartet) performing the national anthem. Barry Scott, the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Phil Vassar and Michael McDonald will also perform.
It all wraps up with the South’s largest fireworks show at about 9:25 pm! Can’t wait!
Happy fourth everyone!
