RC Cola – MoonPie Festival celebrates 30 years in Bell Buckle
BELL BUCKLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The tiny town of Bell Buckle is celebrating a milestone for its favorite sweet-and-soda treat. The annual RC Cola – MoonPie Festival is celebrating 30 years in Bell Buckle on Saturday, June 21. Each summer the town of about 400 residents explodes as people from around the country come to celebrate the iconic snack duo of a MoonPie with a cold RC Cola. Neighborhood News: Stories impacting your community | Read More The festival kicks off with a 5K and 10-mile race. The 10-mile is a certified run for aspiring competitive runners, according to festival officials. The races kick off a 7 a.m. and when they're complete, the annual parade starts making its way through the streets of Bell Buckle. 'The parade is definitely small-town, fun, kitschy—you never know what's going to happen or who's going to show up to that,' Heather Williams, President of the Bell Buckle Chamber of Commerce said. 'We always have a lot of fun with the parade.' After the parade concludes, there is plenty more RC Cola and MoonPie fun to be had – there are games and contests and plenty of family-friendly activities to participate in, all with plenty of sodas and MoonPies to go around. One of the competitions is the MoonPie toss. The game is exactly how it sounds, according to Williams: contestants see who can throw a MoonPie the farthest. Per Williams, competitors take the competition seriously, with plenty of in-good-fun spirit. News 2 On Tour | Explore the communities that shape Middle Tennessee Because this year also celebrates the 30th year of the festival, Williams said there will also be a special new game in line with the theme. In addition to all the festivities, attendees will also be able to snag a piece of the World's Largest MoonPie, which is made every year specifically for the festival by the MoonPie bakery. 'Chattanooga Bakery literally shuts down production momentarily for us so that they can make the largest MoonPie that will fit through their tunnel. Once that goes out the tunnel and dressed, it's about 38 inches,' Williams said. And while there are larger MoonPies that are assembled, this one is the only in-tact MoonPie created by the original baker of the MoonPie. 'It is fantastic. It's the best MoonPie you will ever eat,' Williams said. Each year, the largest MoonPie baked has a different flavor in line with the festival's overall celebration theme. Last year's theme was all about Elvis, so the MoonPie was peanut butter and banana flavored. This year's specialty flavor is being kept under wraps until the day of the festival, so those who want a piece of the pie will need to head down to Bell Buckle to check it out in person.

How Tennessee's boozy history inspired speakeasy culture in Nashville neighborhoods
DAVIDSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Speakeasy-style bars may be a hot trend in Music City, but their roots trace decades back into Tennessee's past of Prohibition. The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club on Gallatin Pike in East Nashville is one of dozens of speakeasies nestled in neighborhoods across Nashville. 'I think the first thing you're going to notice is, we're tricky to find,' explained Brandon Archilla, beverage director at The Fox. 'We're in a basement, essentially. Very similar to speakeasies of old that would've been in places that are most clandestine, out of the prying eye.' Archilla said the hideaway is one of the neighborhood's original cocktail bars. The intimate space has a tight-knit staff and seats just 40 people for drinking and dining by candlelight, about the smallest footprint you can have legally. 'We leaned on local companies to do the Art Deco styling you see in the metal work and the woodwork beneath the bar. The tables were handmade,' Archilla said. With hundreds of bottles of liquor from all over the world, and an exotic cocktail menu embracing a wide variety of flavor profiles, word of The Fox travels fast — although this talk of the town is more like a whisper. 'A lot of our regulars will tell me they do still 'speak easy' of us, and only tell certain people about this bar,' said Caleb Young, the speakeasy's head bartender. News 2 On Tour | Explore the communities that shape Middle Tennessee Speakeasies like The Fox are an ode to the Prohibition-era history of Tennessee. 'Tennessee was the first state to pass state-wide Prohibition in 1909. So, 11 years before the federal government did away with the sale and manufacturing of alcohol, Tennessee did. And that caused a controversy at first,' explained David Ewing, historian and ninth-generation Nashvillian. Ewing said in Nashville, the crackdown really came in 1915 when the mayor who didn't believe in enforcing Prohibition was thrown out of office. That was the start of what Ewing described as a 'cat-and-mouse game' between police, bar owners and whiskey makers. 'While you could not technically sell alcohol, they created locker clubs, where you could kind of bring your own and have your bottle stored in a locker,' Ewing said. Then, when Prohibition was repealed in 1934, Congress gave the power to write alcohol laws back to the states — so Tennessee put wine and beer back up for sale, but not liquor. 'Legally, you could not have a mixed drink in Nashville at a bar or restaurant until 1967,' Ewing said. Neighborhood News: Stories impacting your community | Read More Ewing explained Nashville's growth stalled with few developers wanting to invest in hotels and restaurants that couldn't sell mixed drinks. But, letting liquor flow in the 1970s and '80s led Nashville's nightlife to becoming what it is today. 'I guess it's kind of one of those things where it's like 'don't touch the cookie jar' — you want to touch the cookie jar!' Young said with a laugh. It's a time bartenders at The Fox can hardly imagine, but they keep that speakeasy spirit alive in every sip. 'The way that I embrace that Prohibition-style history, and that legacy, is making people feel special when they're here. That's the most important part of service for me,' Archilla said.
