Step back with us to "Places in Time - Circa 1862-1920 Historic Tour" in Bolivar, TN.  On May 5th and 6th, The Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities (APTA) will be conducting The APTA Annual Historic Tour.  Bolivar is located only about an hour east of Memphis and 30 minutes south of Jackson, TN.  With over 150 homes and buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, it has a lot of history, just waiting to be told.

Ten local high schools will be participating in a fundraising event for the Mid-South Food Bank. The University of Memphis College of Engineering Administration Building will hold the event in their second story lobby. It is sponsored by the West Tennessee Branch American Society of Civil Engineers Younger Members Group.

Each high school will have three hours to construct a sculpture made entirely out of full cans. Every school will have a professional civil engineer as well as a civil engineering student to offer advice and answer questions throughout the "Canstruction."

Bartlett, Collierville, East, Harding Academy, Kingsbury, Ridgeway, St. Bennedict at Auburndale, St. Agnes Academy, St. MAry's and Whitestation are among the participating high schools.

This year's event will mark the sixth year of the competition.
