The ever-popular Mountain Goat Radio Show kicked off 2005 on January 9, when it hosted another great afternoon’s entertainment at Bluewater  in Monteagle.  The familiar cast of characters was on hand as well as the musical talents of the Bend in the River Band, a family-based bluegrass band from New Hope, Tennessee.

 

The 2005 premiere spotlighted local author, Weldon Payne, back by popular demand, and the South Cumberland Players including  Jerry Mansfield, Mark Edens, David Burnett, Dan Sargent, Jan Harlow, Susan Peek, Bill Priestly, and Ken Williams. This season’s Mountain Goat has received a Tennessee Arts Commis

sion ABC grant which helps fund the music. Piggly Wiggly of Monteagle and Turner Security Company of Whiteside, Tennessee are sponsoring this 2004-2005 season.

 

We encourage those who would like to volunteer to help with the set, write a skit, or even join our cast, to contact us and let us know how you might like to become a part of the show.

 

SCCS offers CDs of past performances for sale at each show or through our website and office. The Mountain Goat can also be heard on WZYX AM1440 at 1:00 p.m. on Fridays and WEPG AM910 at 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays.

 

Have you served at an SCCS event this past year, helped with a set, performed in a Mountain Goat skit, or helped mail our newsletters? All these activities and so many more have been achieved through the efforts of our many volunteers who  willingly give of their time and energy , and without whose help SCCS could not exist.

 

Join us at Dubose Conference Center on January 29, at 6:30 p.m. for the Very Important Volunteers Awards, VIVA,  as we honor our volunteers and staff. We will  present the Volunteer of the Year award to one special person who exemplifies
