Today’s Summer Reading library activity found us making diamond art American star magnets just in time for Flag Day (June 14th) and 4th of July. 🇺🇸⭐️❤️🤍💙 This family craft is always an all ages crowd pleaser at our library.

Help Collegedale Police Department bring home the title by voting in the attached link! 🚔

🚔 Help Us Bring the Title Home Again! 🏆

The voting is now open for Tennessee’s Best-Looking Cruiser Award, and we need your help to put Collegedale back on top! Voting for the 2026 contest is open through June 19.

This year’s photo pays tribute to the rich history shared by Collegedale and Ooltewah. Our iconic silver cruiser was photographed at the site of the former Ooltewah train depot, a place where countless soldiers, students, families, friends, and even a Bull Moose U.S. President once stopped to stretch their legs while traveling through, or to, our small town during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Now it’s time to make some history of our own.

✅ Cast your vote here:
Vote for Collegedale Police Department⁠ by clicking here:  https://tntrafficsafety.org/2026-tn-blc-vote

Be sure to share this post with your friends and family and help us show all of Tennessee what makes our community - and our cruiser 🚓 - so special.

🚔🇺🇸
