Here is the MIX Van parked at the edge of our parking log. They were broadcasting live from 11 am until 1pm. If you got up early enough that morning, you would have also heard us on live with Allen and also with Joe and Ronnie over on 102.5 WOW Country!

DJ Allen Rantz...smelling his free rose that was given to him by a fan. DJ Allen was a great help in promoting the day, especially by spreading the meaning of Good Neighbor Day. Thanks to him, many people in our city got roses they would not have otherwise gotten. Be sure to thank him the next time to run into him, or call him sometime at the radio station. He's great at taking requests!! You can always email him too!




THANKS ALLEN!!

Local Florist Plans To Give Away 1,000 Free Flowers For FTDâ Good Neighbor Dayâ

Residents of Crossville, TN will have the unique opportunity to meet each other and develop new friendships when Gifts from the Heart presents the annual FTDâ Good Neighbor Dayâ event on Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Beginning at 9:00 am, Gifts from the Heart at 573 South Main Street will give away 1,000 flowers in bunches of 12, absolutely FREE to anyone who visit’s the shop, while supplies last.

However, there is one catch. Gene and R.G. Cravens, the owners of Gifts from the Heart ask that anyone who picks up a dozen free flowers will be asked to keep one of the flowers for themselves and give the others away to eleven different people - spreading goodwill and friendship in the community.

“We hope that the people of Crossville will be able to get acquainted with new people or will renew an old friendship during FTD Good Neighbor Day,” states R.G. Cravens. “We hope to help create a friendlier, more caring and compassionate world, starting right here in Crossville.”

Gifts from the Heart is a family owned and operated business that has been serving Crossville and the Upper Cumberland area for more than ten years.

FTD Good Neighbor Day is being celebrated for the 15th year throughout the United States and Canada at participating FTD floral shops as a day of celebrating goodwill toward all people. It is expected that hundreds of FTD Florists in North America will participate in this year’s FTD Good Neighbor Day event, giving away millions of free flowers.
