SUMMARY:NO Irish Road Bowling today: STORMY
DESCRIPTION:Today’s 6 p.m. bowl has been CANCELLED on account of stormy weather moving through. Mark your calendar for the next one Sept. 10 (another Sunday) at 6 p.m. EDT. \nEnjoy a FREE outdoor participant/spectator game of Irish Road Bowling right in the middle of Rugby on slightly traveled Rugby Parkway. Teams form as the game starts\, depending on who is there. All ages! Takes about one hour on the route used.  Play or just watch as the game proceeds west\, then east. We yell “CAR” to clear the pavement if one approaches. Starting point is the Historic Rugby Print Shop\, or near it. This involves tossing an iron ball down the road\, with the team making it back to the finish (also start) in the fewest throws being declared that day’s CHAMPIONS and getting their picture on Historic Rugby’s Facebook page! A sooty trophy (survived Harrow Road Cafe fire in 2020) is held in the photo — and much fun experienced by all. (Visit YouTube to see how it’s played in Ireland. We don’t bet on the outcome like they do. Our teams are very amateur/impromptu!) START TIME FOR TEAM PICKS IS 6 p.m. EASTERN\, or 5 Central for those coming across the nearby bridge from Fentress County.

SUMMARY:Ghostly Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Historic Rugby presents Ghostly Gathering on two Saturdays\, October 22 and 29\, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Eastern. This yearly Halloween-season celebration frequently sells out\, and did last year. It is a favorite among village visitors\, who enjoy a homemade chili dinner with dessert\, followed by oil lamp tours of several historic buildings featuring the “Rugby Edged in Black” exhibit. If you missed this in the past or want to see what’s changed\, now is your chance! \nDuring the tour\, guests meet the “ghosts” of some of Rugby’s earliest residents and hear their stories. Edged in Black offers a look at the death and mourning customs of the Victorian era through the death of Margaret Hughes on October 5\, 1887.  Hear funeral hymns and Appalachian dirges while residents mourn her passing. The event concludes with a storyteller spinning more spooky stories in the crisp fall air. \nFor TICKETS ($15 students\, $25 adults) a link will be posted here soon. For questions\, please call 423-628-2441 Ext. 1 Wednesdays through Sundays. \nThis event is supported in part by a generous grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission.

SUMMARY:Irish Road Bowling
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJoin in this fun game of Irish Road Bowling or just watch as players divide up into teams and roll and iron ball down Rugby Parkway (now safer with little traffic). The team with the fewest throws from start to finish wins! Their photo is taken with our trophy and posted on the Historic Rugby Facebook page! All ages and skill levels (or lack thereof) welcomed. Starts 5 p.m. EASTERN/4 C. in heart of Rugby. (Hours moved up for end of DST.) \nWe have spotters to retrieve balls (with magnets on poles) that might on occasion stray off the pavement. Everyone yells “CAR” when a vehicle is seen\, so the road can be cleared for unknowing motorists. Great group entertainment! \nThe game started in Ireland\, but has now spread to Boston and other points in the USA. Rugby now marks several years of playing. It usually takes about an hour\, depending on how many participants show up. We call it off for lightning but have been known to continue in Irish drizzle. \nEVENT STARTS 5 p.m. Eastern AT PRINT SHOP & ends nearby. [Bowls Nov. 26\, Dec. 4 & Dec. 17 will also start at 5 p.m. EST given the shorter days.]
