The cover feature had fun with “Christmas in July,” the whimsical midsummer celebration that trades the usual gimmicks for genuine local cheer — a playful, feel-good lead for the heart of summer.
“Keep Children Learning All Summer Long” helped parents prevent the summer slide, offering practical ideas for keeping young minds engaged between school years. “Liberty Park and Marina” spotlighted one of Clarksville's premier recreational destinations, showcasing the riverfront park's amenities and the summer fun it offers families. The health pages offered a timely tip on exercising in the heat, and a seared-salmon recipe added a fresh summer meal.
The recurring departments round out a July number built for the heart of a Clarksville summer — midsummer cheer, anti-summer-slide learning tips and riverfront recreation together, capturing a community determined to enjoy its warmest months to the fullest, safely and together.
The “Christmas in July” cover made good on a phrase the writer had heard since childhood, usually attached to a gimmicky mattress or TV commercial — but this time the real deal: Pamela Magrans's article on Clarksville's own Santa, ice cream and smiling kids. And with summer break in full swing, Taylor Lieberstein offered tips for keeping children from forgetting everything they'd learned in school before the next year began, the publisher's note steering readers from the cover's Santa straight to those summer-learning tips.
