Happy Hour: Splish Splash

• We may not have many snow days here in Tennessee, but darn it, we’re going to find a reason to close schools. And flood warnings are as good a reason as any. [Nashville WX]
• The great thing about all this rain, though, is that the Tennessee State Fair is pulling everything inside and dropping ticket prices to $5, which is a great deal unless you had your heart set on riding the ferris wheel because that one doesn’t fit indoors. [Tennessean]
• And while we’re on the topic of discounts, bring a can of food for the kind folks at Second Harvest Food Bank and save $15 on your Vanderbilt tickets for Saturday’s game. [WTVF]
• Gallatin High School had a rough afternoon after a student called in a threat and caused the entire school to be placed under lockdown. Fortunately, they called from their cell phone and the police had a pretty easy time tracking them down. [WKRN]
• A Mt. Juliet man is headed to outer space in November as part of NASA’s last mission to the space station. [WPLN]
• Is it too early to be hunting around for a Christmas tree? Murfreesboro doesn’t think so. [WSMV]
