Cards, McCarver Bring New Life to Dunlap
Becky and Lewie Card invite you to experience a kickoff to the 2021 Christmas season in the charming town of Dunlap, Tenn on Saturday, December 4. The revitalization of this historic small town has been a project of love for the Cards. They started out by buying the original Dunlap Mercantile building in the center of the once beating heart of downtown Dunlap. They have lovingly restored the interior and preserved the outer brick shell of the only building left after a fire devastated the town at the turn of the century.
