The staff of Green Hills Funeral Home is almost ready to open their doors. Green Hills is located at 31 Hurst Road, at the Binghamtown four-way stop in Middlesboro.

There are plans to hold the ribbon cutting ceremony on Feb. 1, at 1 p.m. followed by an open house from 1-6 p.m. and from 2-5 p.m. on Feb. 2 and Feb. 3, respectively.

Melissa Yeary, manager and funeral director, is originally from the Bell County area and is honored to be back to serve her hometown. Yeary is one of the investors in Green Hills and explained the goal in building the funeral home was to help Bell County residents feel at home during their time in need.

“We are here to provide the customers with compassion and understanding as well as affordability,” said Yeary. “We realize that cost is a major factor and with this is mind we want to assure you that our prices will meet your budget.”

Green Hills can assist clients with all aspects of the funeral service as well as helping lodge out-of-town loved ones.

The outside of the funeral home is covered by a canopy so visitors do not have to worry about weather being an issue. Visitors can drive up and drop off their family before parking their car. Once they are parked, they will be driven back to the front entrance in a covered golf cart.

The parking lot is handicap accessible.

The modern funeral home features two seating areas located just inside the front entrance. These areas are equipped with comfortable seating, a fireplace and large televisions where loved ones can relax and watch the televisions as they show photos of the lost.

Green Hills also features a play room for children. The room features a desk for children to play at as well as a television and DVD player.

You can reach Reina Parker Cunningham at rpcunningham@civitasmedia.com or by phone at 606-248-1010, ext. 205.

Thousands of country music fans came to the Bell County Fair on Friday night to see and hear award winning country singer, Jamey Johnson. East Tennessee native Chris Hennessy opened the show with Hank Williams, Lynard Skynard and Willie Nelson covers, as well as several of his original songs. The crowd joined with Hennessy word for word as he sang the classics “County Boys Can Survive,” “Curtis Low” and “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys.” Bell County Judge Executive Albey Brock attended the event. Brock thanked the crowd for coming to the event and reminded everyone how close they had been to losing the fair. “Thank you for coming out,” said Brock. “We about lost this fair … if you see a member of the fair board tonight, thank them.” Headliner Jamey Johnson arrived late to the event. His bus was stuck in traffic as cars turned in to the fairgrounds to see the country star. Johnson took the stage around 8:30 p.m., greeted by the thousands of screaming fans who had been anticipating his arrival. Some fans had been waiting since the gates opened at 5 p.m. Johnson was worth the wait — as the crowd cheered throughout the night. He sang song after song, not spending time for small talk between hits. He continued for hours before leaving the stage well after dark. Reach Reina P. Cunningham at 606-248-1010, ext. 205, rpcunningham@civitasmedia.com.
