Cars on adjacent US Highway 150 are usually the loudest noises heard around Mount Saint Francis, home of the Conventual Franciscan province of Our Lady of Consolation.

Annual picnic, chicken dinner bring 'em out in Clarksville.

For those looking for something to do other than Hullabalou, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Clarksville will hold its Parish Picnic Friday and Saturday.
