I still don't find where Saturday's event will be happening.  Some is at the York Elem. school, some at the court house, some at the LDS church and some at the museum but Saturday's event has no place listed.  --- On Tue, 4/26/11, Julie Cromwell <jlcrmwll@gmail.com> wrote: From: Julie Cromwell <jlcrmwll@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [TNMORGAN] FENTRESS COUNTY HISTORY WEEK & ROUNDUP To: tnmorgan@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, April 26, 2011, 6:49 PM April 25-30 is designated History Week in Fentress County, TN with a day of Roundup on Saturday the 30th.
