This Friday, November 4th, Rutherford County begins its drive raising money for the Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity. Working with Habitat for Humanity International since 1989, Rutherford Habitat for Humanity works to build homes for families in need. The families that benefit from this organization are determined by a board of volunteers, and the families chosen are required to pay a small down payment as well as regular mortgage payments, which contribute to future home building costs. They also have to contribute their own blood, sweat, and joy to the building of the home…. 400 hours of blood, “sweat equity,” and appreciation to the cause to be exact. Rutherford County needs the help of its citizens in order to make this happen, and they strive to constantly offer unique ways to raise money. This Saturday is no different.

The Pottery Place paired with the Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity in order to make Cookin’ to Build come to a boil. Community residents painted pottery specifically for this event. These bowls and plates are part of your $15 admission fee and provide the lovingly prepared surface for you to eat all the stew, chili, or soup you desire. This custom crafted piece of art is yours to keep as a reminder of your contribution to a truly needful organization.

In addition to the pottery, the food, the desserts and the drinks there will also be live entertainment in the form of a bluegrass band with a sense of humor to match their skill. The Flea Market Hustlers will be there to liven the atmosphere and apparently continue in their search for “the perfect taco.” With original pieces and lively covers they will introduce you to “jam-grass” at its best.

Dinner, a show, and a cause that gets families off the street that aren’t looking for a handout, just a leg up. What better way to spend you Friday afternoon? So please, anytime from 11:00 am till 1:00 pm at the Murfreesboro Civic Plaza, feel free to stop in, support a family, and eat some chili.
