Announcing our 27th Annual
Christmas Eve Breakfast
Guest Charity
Named a Top 20 event in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society, the festivities and fun continue with the 27th annual Old Country Store Christmas Eve Breakfast Saturday, December 24th complete with live musical entertainment and a visit from Santa Claus. Each year, as a gift to the city, we serve our world famous Southern breakfast buffet including a hot beverage for only $3.99. Children 12 and under are $1.99.
We are very proud to announce that our 2011 Christmas Eve Breakfast non-profit guest is the West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation. The Foundation has more than 400 funds established to assist local causes. Clark Shaw, Old Country Store CEO, said, "Each year at the Breakfast we invite a local charitable group to recognize their contribution to the community. Countless lives are touched each year in West Tennessee by the important work of the Foundation." Visit www.wthfoundation.org for more information.
Attendance each year is around 2,000 people for what has become a favorite Christmas Eve tradition among West Tennessee area families. The Old Country Store hours will be 6:30 am to 2:00 pm for breakfast with the Gift Shoppe closing at 3:00 pm. The Museum will be open from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Christmas Eve.

Events update...Shop local...stay in touch!
Our recent Open House was a great success! We had a wonderful time as we officially kicked off the Christmas season. Many thanks to our staff for all their hard work, our gratitude to the granddaughter of Casey Jones Nancy Howse, to the many musicians who entertained at the Old Country Store, Music Highway Crossroads and Casey Jones Museum including Steve Patterson, Wildwood Express, Highway 54, Jargon, the Appleton Family Band, Michael King and Spector. We also appreciate local authors Norma Taylor, Billy King and Tony Kail who signed books and of course thank you to Santa.
Monday, November 28th we enjoyed a reading and book signing at Casey Jones Museum with Ben Mandrell, Senior Pastor at Englewood Baptist Church, and Josh Brunet, Director of Communications, at Englewood. They signed copies of their book "When Pigs Fly" written by Ben Mandrell and illustrated by Josh Brunet (pictured above: Pastor Ben is on the left and Josh is on the right). It's a wonderful children's book! We sold all the copies we had on hand that day but more are on order or you can buy a copy anytime at www.amazon.com .
Remember to shop local for one of a kind gifts in Casey Jones Village and stop by and relax with a great Southern meal in our restaurant or the Old Country Store "To Go". Shopping at the Old Country Store, Casey Jones Museum, Music Highway Crossroads & Art in the Village gives you an opportunity to support local merchants and artisans. All the shops throughout the Village offer a unique and wonderful atmosphere whether Southern, railroad, music or art related.
Wishing you the blessings of the season!
Be on the inside track! We're social. Join us, won't you?
