Cookeville, TN is a special place. And even though 2020 brought challenges that we have never faced before, our community showed up in a big way.
You volunteered in record numbers for tornado relief efforts in March. You donated food, clothing, and other essential items. You raised money for family and friends. Then you stayed home. You donated PPE supplies. You became kitchen table teachers. You made signs and sent words of encouragement to our healthcare workers and first responders. You shopped local or ordered a takeout meal and kept our small businesses going. You were Cookeville Strong.
This ornament symbolizes a time in Cookeville history we will never forget.
