After 6+ years here in Burnsville, I have had to make an incredibly hard decision. I am now living in Erwin, TN and I have decided to move Pappy’s to there. On December 2nd I will move all sales to 99 Berkshire Dr, Erwin, TN. So if there was something you wanted to get for someone for Christmas you need to get it soon. Thank you for all your support! pappysgunsmithin@gmail.com

This tradition was born from a desire for our school to give back to all the families and community members, who show us so much support throughout the school year. During our Friendsgiving Dinner, faculty and staff help serve a traditional turkey and ham Thanksgiving dinner along with all the fixings. We provide drinks and dessert as well. A local restaurant, Bubba’s Good Eats, supplies us with all the food and helps with the preparation.
While we often receive positive feedback from families who attend, I believe the benefits we have gained as a faculty are immeasurable.
