The countdown is on to the Tennessee Soybean Festival. City of Martin Public Works crews are busy hanging banners in preparation of the event, which draws thousands to Martin. This year’s Festival is from September 3-7. Mayor Brundige recently presented a copy of the 2024 festival magazine with Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bell, a member of this year’s Grand Marshal family. Free magazines are available for pickup at Martin City Hall and the Martin Public Library during regular hours.
