With over twenty percent of our population being seniors, the mahjong scene is currently an emerging grassroots movement driven by residents looking for cognitive stimulation and social bonds. This demographic shift has transformed the game into a vital tool for community building in a county where neighbors are often separated by large stretches of beautiful farmland.
Visitors will find a culture rooted in traditional Southern hospitality, where sessions typically include shared potluck snacks and extended conversation before the first tile is drawn. Because we are a small, tight-knit community of around 14,000 people, the etiquette emphasizes patience and neighborly welcome over the more rigid, formal protocols found in larger metropolitan Tennessee clubs.
