The Giles County Chamber of Commerce’s annual chili cookoff will be Oct. 21 on the Pulaski Square, following action by the Pulaski Board of Mayor and Aldermen at the Aug. 24 meeting. The cookoff, one of the chamber’s annual fund-raisers, will run from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Another parade/activity permit was approved for the Giles County Tourism Foundation on Nov. 13 for the Bells and Benges Memorial Motorcycle Ride to commemorate the Trail of Tears. Two branches of the road pass through Pulaski. Indian tribes from the Southeastern United States traveled over the trail when they were forcibly relocated by the U.S. Government to Oklahoma.

Other permits were approved for the Temple of Praise Church for Sept. 12, for Martin Methodist College on Sept. 7 and for the Common Ground Cafe on Sept. 4. That permit will be for a wedding at Pleasant Run Park at noon.
