So many memories surround Yulefest, an annual Goodlettsville tradition. It has been going strong for 36 years. This magical, festive holiday event is perfect for the whole family. Once you visit, it will become a yearly tradition in your holiday season, one you will look forward to every year. This Saturday is the day!

Our promised garden update is, we regret to announce, not what we had hoped. Our greatest nemesis, the local deer, have defeated our efforts to establish a garden, and only our garlic has survived, battered and bruised. Our first attempt at pole beans was a disastrous defeat, and our second attempt with beets was hardly much better. Behold, the empty field that was once so promising. But, we can always look forward to next year - after all, tomorrow is another day!

If you answered yesterday’s question with ‘Grover Cleveland,’ you are correct! The 22nd and 24th president served for two terms, from 1885-1889, and then from 1893-1897. He had previously served as the mayor of Buffalo and the Governor of New York. Though he was defeated after his first term by Benjamin Harrison, he was able to regain support and defeat Harrison in the 1892 election.

We have quiz time for you today! Who is the only other president who has served two non-consecutive terms?
