Dear Friends, Welcome to the Tennessee Valley Fair, 10 days and nights of family fun at beautiful Chilhowee Park! Each year, thousands come from across the region to enjoy the entertainment, educational displays and exhibits the fair offers. As one of the state s largest multi-day events, the Tennessee Valley Fair features something for everyone - from 3,000 competitive exhibits and contests to eight nights of concerts, along with festive food and midway rides. And don t forget the nightly fireworks display! This year marks the fair s 97th year, and we are proud this event takes place at the City s own Chilhowee Park. For more than a century, this venue has been a mecca for entertainment, exhibitions and activity. Whether you re here for the thrill rides, the antique tractor show, or just the festive atmosphere, I hope you, your family and friends have a great time at this year s fair. Sincerely, Madeline Rogero Mayor of Knoxville Welcome to the Tennessee Valley Fair! On behalf of Knox County, I want to welcome you to the Tennessee Valley Fair, one of East Tennessee s most popular and longest running events. I have been going to the Tennessee Valley Fair since I was a child and can remember working a water booth for Congressman Jimmy Duncan when I was in my 20s. In Knox County, the fair has always been a family-friendly community event. The Tennessee Valley Fair is more than just rides, music and fair food. At the fair, you will also find arts and crafts, games, livestock and vegetable judging, as well as the Fairest of the Fair competition. There really is something for everyone, right down to the trademark end-of-the-night fireworks show that lights up the sky each evening. Most importantly, I hope you have a good time and make lots of memories at this year s Tennessee Valley Fair. You are one of thousands of people who come to Chilhowee Park each year to enjoy every aspect of the Tennessee Valley Fair from funnel cakes, corndogs and cotton candy to midway rides, agriculture and live music. Sincerely, Tim Burchett Knox County Mayor 7
