CLARKSVILLE, TN –Montgomery County Family and Community Educators members attended the 40th annual Tennessee Association for Family and Community Education (TAFCE) Conference held November 13-16 at the Franklin Cool Springs Marriott. Their theme “Saddle Up with FCE” was played to the hilt with decorations, hospitality room spreads, games, line dancing, and seated line dancing!
Conference attendees were offered options for educational tours, walk-in craft classes, creative craft classes, and education sessions. Topics of workshops included suicide prevention, dance fitness, chair volleyball, the history of FCE name changes, wreaths for all occasions, cooking Southern, scrapbooking your memories, coffee talk, and everything you wanted to know about insurance but were afraid to ask.
The opening session and the Cowgirl Prom were opportunities for FCE members to receive awards in cultural arts (such as beading, chair making, needlecrafts, quilting, etc.), fashion review, and creative writing.
Winners from Montgomery County included Debby Johnson – 1st Place in Casual and Active Wear
