TOPPING OFF A SWEET SIXTEEN The festive exterior lighting will continue through the evening of July 4. Since its construction for the 1982 World’s Fair, the Sunsphere has been a signature landmark of Knoxville. Its observation deck is a popular attraction, drawing thou- sands of visitors. Because of the Sunsphere’s immense popularity, the City’s Spe- cial Events Department, in collab- oration with sponsor Lloyd’s Elec- tric Service Inc., chose to celebrate the City’s 225th birthday and Fes- tival on the Fourth with the special weeklong one-time lighting. At a cost of less than $5,000, Illuminating Design Inc. of Atlanta, Ga., will be temporarily installing LED lights that have been used by Disney, Space X, the U.S. Air Force and the National Football League. However, the commemorative lighting eventually could become a permanent amenity. Visit Knox- ville is seeking tourism grants that, if funded, would provide the per- manent infrastructure to illuminate the Sunsphere as a marketing tool to draw visitors and events to the City. “This is an exciting opportunity for Knoxville’s iconic landmark in Knoxville,” said Kim Bumpas, Pres- owell High’s Peyton Alford and Fulton’s Makenna Black are their school’s male and female Student-Athletes of the Year. ident of Visit Knoxville. “The teams Alford had a grade point average and earned run average that made him the Panthers’ honoree.
