Community Centers are teeming with activity
All three community centers carried several new programs this fall and many are returning in just a few short weeks. Look for updates and new schedules for Archery, Zumba, Toddlers In Action, and Ballroom Dancing just to name a few.
In the meantime stop in the Crow Center and learn to Hula on Tuesdays and Thursdays or practice the Japanese martial art, Judo on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Or get in a rigorous workout in Burt-Cobb Community Center’s R&B Jazz Step exercise program on Saturday afternoon.
Crow Community Center staff would like to remind patrons the center will be closed December 7-13 for annual maintenance but it will reopen on December 14 just in time to register for the Indoor Soccer program.
The Youth Indoor Soccer Program begins January 9 at the Crow Community Center. The eight-week instructional program is open to youth ages 4 to 12 and registration will begin December 14, 2009.
Registration forms are available at all three Community Centers and online at www.cityofclarksville.com. The cost is $20 per child plus a $5 Community Center ID. Classes for youth ages 4-6 will be held at 9:15 a.m., 7-9-year-olds at 10:30 a.m. and 10-12-year-olds at 11:45 a.m.

Enjoy Two Evenings in Santa’s Workshop at Christmas on the Cumberland
New to Christmas on the Cumberland this year are two nights of family fun in Santa’s Workshop. On December 18 children and parents are invited to come and decorate their own Christmas cookies supplied by Kroger. Children and parents are invited to return the following night on December 19 to create wooden Christmas ornaments with materials provided by Lowes Home Improvement.
Both evenings in Santa’s workshop are free of charge and take place from 6-8 pm, or while supplies last, in the As the River Flows Museum at the McGregor Park RiverWalk.
Frigid weather can’t hold back the 50th Annual Christmas Parade
The City of Clarksville and the Clarksville Jaycees held their 50th annual Christmas Parade Saturday evening in conjunction with the Downtown for the Holidays festivities. The coming of the Christmas Parade is a sure fire sign in Clarksville that Christmas it just around the corner!
Other festive activities included a Christmas Cookie bake-off at Ingredients on Strawberry Alley, Caroling and free Hot Chocolate at the Montgomery County Courthouse, and the official lighting of the Montgomery County Christmas Tree by County Mayor Carolyn Bowers.
