Mountain Homecoming is a fall tradition of welcoming back folks who have left but have never forgotten their roots or their memories here on the Mountain. This event starts at 10 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 24.
This year, the Town of Monteagle has partnered with the South Cumberland Area Chamber of Commerce, Tracy City Street Rodders and Margo Shea, visiting professor at the Univeristy of the South and with the Places Project, to bring together a day filled with activities that are sure to appeal to everyone in the family.
The biggest event kicks off the day when the new and improved Monteagle Eagle returns home from her perch on Derryberry Hall at Tennessee Tech University and lands back home at Harton Park, 64 years after she mysteriously flew the coop.
Events for the day include: 10 a.m., Tennessee Tech/Monteagle Eagle unveiling, Harton Park; 10 a.m., Places Project booth opens; 10 a.m.–noon, Pop-up Museum object drop-off; 10 a.m.–2 p.m., Fire on the Mountain Car Show, May Justus Library; 10 a.m.–4 p.m., History Celebration, Monteagle Town Hall; 11 a.m.–2 p.m., Chamber Chili Cook-off, Monteagle Pavilion; 12:30 p.m., “Lightening Talks: Six Things You Didn’t Know about Monteagle’s History”; 2–4 p.m., Civil War Living History and Music, Hannah Pickett Park; and 2–4 p.m., the Pop-up Museum opens.
The fourth annual Fire on the Mountain chili cook-off will be open for tasting at 11 a.m., and guests can sample as many types of chili as they want for $5 per person. Chili cook-off teams will represent some of the Mountain’s finest restaurants, businesses and community groups.
