Clarksville, TN – Thank about this. More than 1,200 children leave school every Friday afternoon and do not have a solid meal until they return to school on Monday. That’s why the FUEL bags that are the sustenance in the secret backpacks these kids receive on Friday afternoon are so important. Imagine living in the land of plenty that we have in the United States of America and having nothing to eat from Friday until Monday except what generous donors give to fill these backpacks.
Saturday the Clarksville Association of Realtors made a difference through the FUEL Fundraiser at their headquarters on Center Pointe Drive. Here children, parents, grandparents and everyone who attended gathered for fun and fund-raising—with a good time had by all.

Clarksville, TN – The final day of the 2012 Rivers and Spires Festival on Saturday opened with unseasonably cooler weather to the point of being really chilly. Warm coats, hats, and/or gloves were the order of the day. Turnout started out slow, and might have been a little bit depressed over all from previous years as a result, but the people who did come out had a really great time!
Arriving around 11:00am, I found dribs and drabs of people mostly scattered around the various stages. As the morning progressed the numbers steadily increased. I made my way up strawberry alley and watched a vendor playing with one of the many items he had for sale. «Read the rest of this article»

Maurice Vaughn, owner of Better Homes and Garden Real Estate Hometown Connection in Clarksville.
Clarksville, TN – Like many other industries the real estate business has undergone major changes since the rise of the Internet. Local Realtor Maurice Vaughn who has over 28 years of experience in the business had come to see the writing on the wall. Businesses had either adapt their business models to utilize the new technology, or face extinction.
Keeping up with constantly changing technology is expensive, which can put it out of the reach of many small businesses. So to enable his reality company to continue to succeed, Vaughn partnered with the Realogy Corporation who signed a licensing deal in October 2007 with the Meredith Corporation to use the Better Homes and Gardens brand to market real estate.
In just one year Vaughn’s company “Better Homes and Garden Real Estate Hometown Connection,” has risen to become one of the top three real estate companies in Clarksville-Montgomery County. “We started out with 7 agents, and in just a year we now have 64, a growth of 800%.”
