The mouth-watering cover belongs to The Peach Cobbler Factory, one of Clarksville's newest businesses, profiled by Paige Eisemann in the cover story “Just Peachy” — a shop whose range runs well past its namesake to banana pudding in several flavors, cherry swirl, bourbon pecan and coconut cobblers, cinnamon rolls and ice cream. The companion piece, “Splat That!,” keeps the playful tone with a look at contained, paint-splattering fun for kids and families — the kind of messy afternoon that leaves the cleanup to someone else.
“YaiPak: You Are Important” unpacks a nonprofit whose name spells out its purpose — You Are Important, People Administering Kindness — started by Sherry Nicholson in 2016 to meet people who are neglected, hurting or afflicted right where they are. It is outreach built on the plain premise the acronym states — that everyone the organization reaches is, first and simply, important — and the feature traces how that idea became a working local ministry.
With planting season near, “Know Your Zone Before You Grow” walks readers through the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map so local gardeners can match what they plant to Middle Tennessee's climate and overcome a self-diagnosed black thumb — a practical primer for anyone easing into a first spring garden.
A Giving Back feature explains how shoppers could route a share of their everyday spending to local causes through Amazon Smile, turning routine everyday purchases into small but steady ongoing donations. The publisher's note ties the issue together, steering readers from the cover's cobbler to the paint-splattering fun of “Splat That!” and on to a calendar packed with things to do in and around town.
