DICKSON, Tenn. (WTVF) — As we head into the school year, the city of Dickson Police Department wants to make sure you're prepared!
That's why they'll be giving out free school supplies at the Dickson County Fairgrounds on July 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
You'll also be able to meet the school resource officers!

It’s a sad reality that area animal shelters and non-profit rescue organizations face constant overcrowding -- with so many dogs, cats and other animals waiting for a forever home. Jason Lamb reports here that Metro leaders are working with those groups – including Critter Cavalry – to find solutions. I’ve fostered a dog from Critter Cavalry, so I understand the need is great. And I found my pup Domino through another local group, Proverbs Animal Rescue. Ultimately, it starts with all of us. Getting more dogs and cats spayed or neutered can help control the pet population – and ease the burden.
