 The Cross Plains Community Chamber helped make the first Fourth of July at Kilgore Park special by sponsoring a church softball tournament. Congratulations to Mt. Carmel Baptist Church and their winning team. Thanks to all the churches who participated and to everyone who attended. The day was capped with live music including the Ridgetop Ramblers, dinner provided by the City of Cross Plains, and fireworks from the Cross Plains Fire Department in memory of former fire chief Roy Hulsey. The chamber hopes to make the softball tournament and music an annual event. |

Special recognition was paid to Cross Plain's own Bill Cody on June 27, the first day of Trash and Treasures. Bill was inducted this year into the Country Music Disc Jockey Hall of Fame. He once again brought his 650 AM WSM morning show to town where he was joined by state and local officials offering recognition as well as country stars David Frizzell (another local resident) and Lacy J. Dalton and others. Visitors to Cross Plains will notice signs recognizing Bill at our city limits.
