The cover feature was a portrait of Peggy Bonnington, whom the writer called a masterpiece — an artist who, more than thirty years ago, built her Benfolly studio on the Cumberland River and became a fixture of the local arts scene. The piece toured her two-level studio and home and traced a career that has shaped Clarksville dance for decades.
The issue also honored civil rights leader Jerry Jerkins, giving space to a figure central to the city's history, and covered Manna Café Ministries' Grits & Gravy — one of the nonprofit's community gatherings that pairs a shared meal with its mission. Around those features, the Tour de Ville, the Strawberry Festival, an At Home in Clarksville visit with Brad and Lisa Martin, and an Aron Maberry kickoff marked the season's calendar.
The recurring departments round out a July number that moves from a dancer's riverside studio to a civil rights legacy to a plate of grits — the range of a Clarksville summer in one issue.
