The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum double-engine steam passenger train will be rolling into the Summerville Depot today, and the City of Summerville has a full day of events planned.  The city is hosting a chili and Brunswick stew cook-off.  The public can purchase $5 wristbands and sample all of the stew and chili, and vote for the Peoples Choice Awards.  The teams of stew and chili makers will be competing for a top prize of $500.  Also, the Chattooga County Historical Society will have the historic Couey House open for visitors today for a look back into the history of some of Chattooga County’s earliest settlers.  Music will be a part of today’s activities as well, with Nashville-based Jaycee Lynne performing.  You can read more about Jaycee Lynne’s music below:
