Blount Partnership News & Events

 
It's hard to believe that Memorial Day weekend is upon us. Did you know that Memorial Day originally began to honor and celebrate Union Soldiers who died during the Civil War? So let's be safe and say "Thank you" to a veteran.
 
Before then, there are many activities and events this week and next. If you want to be active in a child's life, check out the Big Brothers Big Sisters Lunch and Learn at Boys and Girls Club on Tuesday. Also get out and enjoy the Foothills Antique Tractor Show and the Smoky Mountain Quilters 34th Annual Quilt Show and Competition taking place in Townsend this weekend.

Don't forget about coffee club next Thursday sponsored by Five Star Food Service at DENSO and the BYLD May social at Smoky Mountain Brewery.

REMEMBER WHEN
Who can forget the raspy vocal stylings of Kim Carnes as she topped the Billboard Singles chart this week in 1981 with "Bette Davis Eyes?" It spent nine weeks at No. 1 and was Billboard's biggest hit of the year. The recording won the 1982 Grammy Awards for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
