A rainy Friday caused Brentwood to cancel its annual Maddenfest at Brentwood Park both Friday and Saturday, but the parade down High School Drive went on as planned.

In addition to city officials and organizations, and school related floats, each of this year’s inductees into the Brentwood Alumni Hall of Fame had a convertible to wave from to the crowds. The inductees were:

  • Brother Kick Oscarson ’53
  • Ken “Iggy” Strode ’75
  • Summerscales Bowen ’70
  • Lady Dixie Walker Summerscales Bowen ’70
  • John T. Penniston, Ph.D. ’53
  • Jack E. Weigle, MD ’57

  2. Brentwood’s dark side hides and strikes like a venomous snake when budgetary foolery is identified. I put this ON THE MAYOR. The BUCK STOPS WITH HIS (self-serving) self. Let us know Chris. WHERE DOES ALL THE MONEY GO?

  3. $7,000 fictional dollars? NO documentation? SOMETHING is wrong in B’wd. What say, Chris?? You HAD to know something about $7,000 allocation for a Public Relations show, when there are issues like drug trafficking and using—get nothing? Sorry puppy—i saw you coming. And you have validated my “lack of community values” charge. You glad hand anyone you want. Just use your own family income to do it—not tax payer dollars. Chris, you are very much out of responsible trustworthiness. I really had hope for you—What a let down. And DO NOT CHALLENGE THE HONESTY OF DOUG MINER. i will be all over you and i have no concern for what people think of my methods. They have lead to superior outcomes–even at my expense. SOMEONE RESPOND TO THIS $7000 budgetary elephant in the room.

    • Maureen, the Brentwood Board of Aldermen approved spending $7,543 for a promotional video featuring Maddenfest in May. Here’s a link to the story: http://bit.ly/2cZcdn8. Again, the video of the parade on 40 South is not that video — that should be obvious.

      • Maureen,

        We adore you for the way you battle for the little people of Brentwood against the machine. Way to go!

        But hold on, this must be an aberration; you would appear to be somewhere in the vicinity of 100% wrong and entirely bereft of the facts.

        My browser cannot seem to find your apology to the people you slandered in your demented torrent of poison. Help me out Maureen: where is your apology? We all know it’s not like you to be quiet.

  5. Just Sayin’ — This was a 40South production: shot on iPhone, sent to YouTube and embedded in the post. Didn’t cost anywhere near $7000.
