Rain was in the forecast, but that didn't stop a great turnout for this year's Trey Smith Football Camp.

Young athletes spent time this weekend learning new skills, competing with their peers, and hearing from West Tennessee native and two-time Super Bowl Champion Trey Smith!

Events like this help create opportunities to stay active, build confidence, and connect with positive role models. We're grateful to support these efforts that invest in the next generation and strengthen our communities.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's camp a success.

The Town of Stanton is proud to announce the arrival of its first police vehicle, a fully equipped 2026 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, made possible through an investment by Ford Community Relations as part of Ford's Good Neighbor Plan.

The vehicle will serve as the primary patrol unit for the Stanton Police Department, which was formally established in 2025. The addition of the vehicle marks an important milestone in the Town's continued commitment to public safety and community service.

Through this investment, Ford Community Relations has helped equip the Stanton Police Department to serve a growing community.

"As Stanton continues to grow, the safety and well-being of our residents remains a top priority," said Mayor Norman Bauer Jr. "We are grateful to Ford Community Relations for this investment in our community. This vehicle strengthens our ability to provide professional public safety services while helping us build a safe and welcoming community for residents and visitors alike."

Police Chief Nigel Peeples expressed his appreciation for the investment and enthusiasm for the department's future.

"I am honored to serve the residents of Stanton and look forward to utilizing this vehicle as we continue building strong relationships within the community," said Chief Peeples. "This vehicle provides an important tool to help us serve effectively, respond to community needs, and ensure Stanton remains a safe place to live, work, and visit."

The establishment of the Stanton Police Department and acquisition of its first patrol vehicle are part of the Town's broader efforts to enhance municipal services and prepare for the opportunities associated with continued growth throughout the region.

The blues were playing, the cars were shining, and people were enjoying a great day at the 16th Annual Exit 56 Blues Fest. 🎶

We spent Saturday soaking up the sounds at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center, enjoying live blues music throughout the day, checking out the car show, and taking in everything that makes this festival a favorite annual tradition.

Thank you to the musicians, organizers, vendors, and everyone who came out to celebrate West Tennessee's rich blues heritage. We're glad to support events that bring communities together and showcase the culture and traditions of West Tennessee.

We were glad to join the Brownsville-Haywood County Parks and Recreation, the Brownsville Haywood County Chamber of Commerce, local leaders, and community members for the ribbon-cutting of the new Brownsville Splash Pad.

Made possible through support from Ford’s Good Neighbor Plan, this new community space gives local families another place to play and enjoy the summer months together. Seeing people already eager to cool off and enjoy the splash pad was a great reminder of why investments in community spaces matter.

Congratulations to everyone who helped bring this project to life. We’re excited to see families enjoy it for many summers to come.
