* 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.
* Besides, the parade has been delayed many times in the past five years… once to allow all the tractors to get across the river on the Cumberland City ferry"
