The Professional Anglers Assocation is coming to Hendersonville!

Four outstanding fisheries with roots deep in the sport of bass fishing, reduced entry fees and the addition of co-anglers competing for two days highlight the 2012 Bass Pro Shops PAA Tournament Series schedule.

The PAA Tournament Series will head to Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville, Tenn., on May 10-12. It will be the PAA’s first visit to Old Hickory.

After the final weigh-in May 12 at Bass Pro Shops in Nashville, veteran country music star Daryle Singletary will perform a free concert for fans. Singletary is known for his hits “Too Much Fun” and “I Let Her Lie,” among others during his career spanning almost two decades.

Old Hickory Lake stretches more than 97 miles long and has more than 22,500 acres and 440 miles of shoreline. An impoundment of the Cumberland River, the lake has numerous coves and tributaries along with offshore structure providing great habitat for numerous species of fish. The lake record largemouth bass, weighing 11 pounds, 1 ounce, was caught May 6, 2000, by Bryan Dover.

We are excited that the PAA chose Hendersonville for a stop on their tournament series.  With National Television coverage, this event will once again allow Hendersonville to shine!

Safe Routes to School Program Grant

The City of Hendersonville has been awarded a grant from the Tennessee Department of Transportation in the amount of $192,555 to construct 0.3 mile of sidewalk from Morris Drive north to Jennings in the Hawkins Middle School area.  The project also includes a pedestrian bridge.  This will be an extension of the existing sidewalk / trail which runs from Walton Ferry Elementary School past Windstar Bay and Chesapeake Harbor to Morris Drive.  Hendersonville was 1 of only 10 cities in Tennessee selected to share in the $1.6 million program.

The announcement from the Governor's Office can be found here.

A map of the project may be viewed here.

This grant program is called the Safe Routes to School Program and is designed to increase opportunities for children to walk and bike to school.  The exercise improves the health of our children while the reduced car traffic reduces congestion and pollution.  More importantly, this section of Walton Ferry is very dangerous for children to walk on as there is no shoulder.  The sidewalk will eliminate this safety hazard.

This is a project the City could not fund on its own.  The grant provides 100% funding.
