The National Banana Pudding Festival is in line to receive a $10,000 grant from the county Legislative Body.

The Centerville Volunteer Fire Department will build a facility behind its main fire hall to host all of the water rescue equipment it has been housing, much of it for county responders.

Fire Chief Al Baltz said the $25,000 project will include $22,000 from the Fire Chiefs Association, which received a $150,000 allocation this year from the Legislative Body.

Those traveling to the 15th National Banana Pudding Festival will see two changes this year: a shuttle bus system and a new traffic pattern.

Both are designed to cut down on the long lines that faced attendees at last year’s event, being held again this year at the Hickman County Ag Pavilion and Fairgrounds on October 5 and 6.

The Centerville Police Department reported the following matters in recent days, according to reports held by the department:

— On August 22, John Porter reported an estimated $15,000 in damage to his 1995 Peterbilt vehicle. According to Officer Cole Parks’ report, the vehicle had been hit by another on its driver’s side, causing the hood to be bent out and the grill damaged.

— On August 27, Michael Wilemon, 49, of Nunnelly, was arrested and charged with evading arrest, driving while his license was revoked and trespassing. According to Officer Kolbi Reed’s report, he saw a Chevy pick-up failing to maintain its lane on Highway 48 North and sought to stop it, though the driver ignored his signals initially.
