Donating Blood Makes an Impact - and Arlington can make a difference this weekend! The Vitalant Blood Drive Bus will be at the Arlington Crossing Market on Saturday. Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood; these are people in hospitals, surgical centers, and ERs. So consider donating. It's a small way to give back, with such big impacts.

Happy Independence Day! We wish you a safe, joyful Fourth! (Town facilities are closed today in honor of the holiday, including Town Hall, the library and senior center. Trash service will also be delayed one day)

Saturday morning is the next Arlington Crossing Market (7/06). Hope to see you there! We'll have many of your favorite vendors returning! AND the Vitalant Blood Drive will be on-site with t-shirts and $10 gift cards for blood donors.

The Town fireworks show was a hit last Friday! Thanks to all who participated. We know some of you plan to have your own celebration this 4th. Town ordinances allow private fireworks, but ONLY on the 4th of July. So...for harmony with your pets & neighbors, and because it's the law, hold off until then. Also remember it's HOT & DRY this year, so keep water handy when lighting any firework & be sure they are fully extinguished when you're done. Let's all be safe and have a great Independence Day!

Hope to see you tonight Arlington for our annual community party and Independence Day celebration! https://www.townofarlington.org/page/fireworks

Congratulations to all the Arlington Seniors who participated in the TN Senior Olympics!! It was a great time for all involved. We had several residents win medals, which qualifies them for the 2025 National Senior Olympics!!

Join us this Friday for Arlington's Star Spangled Spectacular!! We'll kick off at 6pm with live music from Big Wheel and multiple food vendors. Then we'll light up the night with a fireworks display at 9:15pm. So start gathering your picnic blankets and lawn chairs, even umbrellas and popup tents to beat the heat (but please take them down before the fireworks). Coolers and picnic baskets are allowed (just no cooking or glass containers please for safety reasons). However, there will be some great food vendors on-site to visit, who all support our local sports groups. Lastly - parking is limited, so plan ahead and walk, bike, or carpool if you can. Handicap parking will be available at the Sports Complex.
