CELEBRATION AT WORLD’S FAIR PARK

In August we held our annual Celebration, this time at Knoxville’s World’s Fair Park, which was celebrating the 40th anniversary of the city hosting the international Fair. We had our main event under the canopy of the Tennessee Amphitheater as well as offered tours of the Sunsphere. We honored former Knoxville Mayor Randy Tyree - who was crucial to getting the World’s Fair in Knoxville - with our Bruce McCarty Community Impact Award. ETCDC client Sunset Gap Community Center & Camp recieved the Annette Anderson Directors’ Award, and our main speaker was Bo Roberts, who was President of the 1982 World’s Fair. We were also honored to present a donation of $36,000 to Visit Knoxville for their Sunsphere Restoration Fund, which will allow the iconic structure to be enjoyed for generations more.
