By Mike Steely [email protected]

ood weather, great organization and a huge turnout all combined to make this year’s Honor Fountain City Day a success. The theme was “A GCommunity of Volunteers” and the many people who helped to organize and put on the recent celebration, sponsored by the Fountain City Town Hall, were evident as local people, visitors, elected officers, political candi- dates and vendors not only honored the North Knoxville community but military veterans as well. Patriotic music filled the air, vendors offered their wares, and the event culminated when Fountain City Town Hall chairperson Jamie Rowe took the microphone and introduced those public officials in attendance. Rev. Don Grady, Pastor of Shannondale Presbyterian Church, gave the invocation and Boy Scout Troop 55 presented the flag and led the Pledge of Allegiance. After Lyn Bennett sang “The Star Spangled Banner,” Fountain City Historian and author Dr. Jim Tumblin spoke briefly about sever- al Fountain City residents who were instrumental in the founding and growth of the historic community. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett spoke also, tell- ing a family story about a relative lost in battle, and Vice Mayor Duane Grieve spoke on behalf of Mayor Madeline Rogero. The Fountain City Town Hall announced awards to businesses and individuals and the Commercial Resto- ration Award went to Bud- dy’s Barbeque. Brandon and Kira Lawson received the Residential Restoration Award and the Chairman’s Clockwise from top, the Award went to the City Parks and Recreation.
