Live on the Lawn, hosted by the General Federation of Women\u2019s Clubs (GFWC) Centennial Woman\u2019s Club, is one of the earliest celebrations of the summer season. It was held on May 23 at the South Jackson Performing Arts Center\u2019s outdoor stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s casual, fun, and has been tremendously successful thanks to the generosity of the community,\u201d Tanya Sheeley, chair of Live on the Lawn, said. She and co-chair Martha Grantham organized the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funds were raised through ticket sales and a live auction hosted by Joe Orr. Auction items included Woodard\u2019s jewelry, a weeklong vacation at a Mexican resort, gift baskets, handmade quilts, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band Slice of American Pie provided music. Attendees brought blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy the evening with friends. Each ticket holder received a souvenir picnic bag, a boxed dinner, and a drink ticket. Additional drinks could be purchased separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/2-5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/2-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/2-5-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/2-5-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photography by Brooke Snyder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Proceeds benefited two local causes: the South Jackson Performing Arts Center and Horse Play, a therapeutic riding center for children with disabilities or needs. The donations allowed South Jackson\u2019s executive director, Greg Gressel, to offer drama camp scholarships this summer, while Horse Play\u2019s president, Ken MacKay, will provide riding scholarships and horse care supplies. The women\u2019s club chose groups that support Tullahoma\u2019s children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone in our club takes on some sort of responsibility that night,\u201d Donna Rhoton, president of the GFWC, said. \u201cWe exceeded our goal! Whatever we don\u2019t donate to the selected charities will go to other local nonprofits throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event was supported by generous sponsors, including diamond-level sponsor Weichert Realty; gold-level supporters Dement Construction, Barrett Construction, and Jack Daniel\u2019s; and numerous silver-level community businesses. Ole Shed and Liquor Locker provided the beer and wine.
