“Cave Tours Are Back in Session” leads the issue with the return of guided tours at Dunbar Cave, the naturally cool local landmark that offers relief from the August heat and a window into the area's natural history — a perfect late-summer feature.

With the school year approaching, “Apps for Learning” helps parents sort through the educational technology available to support their children, and “Tennessee's Promise” revisits the tuition-free college program as graduating seniors and their families plan ahead.

“Health: A Family Affair” makes the case for wellness as a household pursuit, and a feature on local TV stars adds a note of hometown celebrity to the issue.

The health pages continue with cosmetic-surgery coverage, and a feature on the arts plus the recurring departments round out a late-summer number as families prepare to head back to school.

The recurring departments and photo pages round out an August issue built for the turn toward the school year. A cool cave to explore, a roundup of learning apps, and another look at Tennessee's Promise all point families toward the season ahead, while “Health: A Family Affair” keeps wellness a shared household pursuit. It is the magazine doing what it does best in late summer — balancing one last adventure with the practical business of getting kids ready to learn — and reminding readers that the best preparation for the year ahead blends a little fun, a little planning and a lot of family, all under one Clarksville roof. Dunbar Cave holds a cherished place in local memory, its cool underground passages having drawn Clarksvillians for generations, and the return of guided tours gives families a natural, affordable way to close out the summer together before the school bells ring.
