Team Taylorsville’s St. Patty’s Day Spring Fling Dance was a great success for Smith Co. Relay for Life.  We had 43 children to attend the dance.  The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the best  Irish dancers.  The vote was by secret ballot with Peyton Hetrick being presented with a Irish Princess sash and crown and Calvin Boyland receiving a green felt hat. Team Taylorsville’s members are:

Rosalyn Glenn, Hilda Powell, Patricia Blakeney, Tina Jordan , Janette Brewer and Marcy Jordan. Look in next week’s paper for our next event "Jail and Bail" for all the details.

Relay for Life Team Taylorsville is having a St. Patty’s Spring Fling Dance on March 11, 2011 at the National Guard Armory in Taylorsville.  Parents will be required to sign in their children at the door starting at 6 o’clock and sign out their children no later than 9 o’clock.  Snacks can be purchased separately (cokes, chips and candy) for 50 cents each. A $5.00 donation per child is required for a fun time to start your Spring Break vacation.  Be sure to wear something "GREEN" or you may get pinched.  If you have any questions, call Town Hall at 601 785-6531.

“It is beginning to look like Spring with the daffodils and the Bradford pears in full bloom.The Taylorsville Garden Club planted the daffodils last year and they are more beautiful this year.

The Central Street project is headed into Phase II which is dealing with the Sewer System being updated. We appreciate your patience as this work continues to disrupt your daily routines.

Have you ever ask yourself that question, can I buy that in Taylorsville? With rising gasoline prices you may want to consider buying local. It helps everyone if you “Shop in Taylorsville”. According to the 2010 Census we lost 86 people. Our population now is 1255.

We are cleaning up the West Industrial Park site by having it bush hogged and a sign erected to attract new industries. Our present Industrial Park is getting a new sign with the help of the existing business owner’s paying for their name to be placed on the sign.

We need to display a positive image of our town at all times because you never know who is looking. Economic Development is needed everywhere but let’s start at home. Spend your money in Taylorsville.”

The "Children in Action" group  from Fellowship Baptist Church needed a mission project to earn a World Mission badge.  On February 19, 2011 they came to the walking track in Taylorsville to rake leaves and install a bird feeder.  They did an outstanding job and we certainly appreciate all the hard work they did. Their adviser is Mrs. Sonja McDaniel. 

Also, present were Mr. Kevin Amason and Mr. Darrel Temple.  The children who participated  in the World Mission event are Trevor Amason, Trenton Amason, Dawson Temple and Christian Duvall.  Earlier in the week Mrs. Palmer’s class came and raked leaves as well.  They plan to return and finish the clean-up of leaves.  Thanks to all these young people for taken an interest in their community.
