* The crowds were down, and the parade was short, but the weather was beautiful for the 2008 Lighting Up the Cumberland Celebration in Cumberland City, Tennessee
The fifth annual event kicked off a little later than the 10 A.M. start time, but everyone easily forgave Mayor Whitey Vaughn, who had to attend to some important city business. It’s easy to forgive one of the biggest supporters for the annual celebration here, residents say.

RED CROSS SUFFERS LOSS

We will go on with business as usual. The truck had been loaded with supplies for Earth Day on Ft. Campbell and we also have a booth at Rivers and Spires today. The volunteers that had planned to be at Ft. Campbell this morning are already on site and set up. River and Spires is still a go. We will adjust our supplies and equipment for future operations but we are the Red Cross and we will adapt. DAT Captains will be driving their own vehicles once again. Presently an inventory has been taken of items on the vehicle and the insurance company contacted. Clarksville Fire and Police are investigating this as an arson and may have a suspect in custody. We can already see the light at the end of this tunnel and hopefully it is not a train. The spirit of the volunteers will overcome this obstacle.
