Christmas for the animals

The Animal Rescue Coalition will be hosting "Christmas for the Animals". They will be set up in front of Barefoot Chameleon and River Mountain Antiques on Broad Street in Downtown Kingsport from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.on Sat. Nov. 20. Everyone come by and join us for refreshments (people and pets). They will also have homemade dog treats, bandanas, bottle babies, lap quilts and other Christmas items. They will also be **Exclusively Selling** a local print called "Shed a Light On A Global Tragedy". This has been a yearlong project. This large print is mosaic candle made up from one thousand of the animals faces that came through the local shelter last year. AMAZING!!! If you would like to donate food for the animals, we will have a container available. Be sure to stop by and say hello!

Please help us spread the word...THANKS

www.MoveToKingsport.com is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the Eastern U.S. This city of 50,000 in a metro of 308,000, was planned by renowned American planner John Nolen in his office at Harvard Square. Located in the lush green foothills of the Tennessee Valley, it is surrounded by the Southern Highlands and mountain lakes. Kingsport is home to Marriott’s www.MeadowViewResort.com and thousands of acres of unique, natural amenities at Bays Mountain and Warriors Path Parks. The natural geography provides a temperate, well-balanced climate with four seasons and a natural shelter from extreme weather. Population growth has also been well-balanced, ensuring you will not outgrow your decision to relocate. With no personal property taxes, special assessments, or state income taxes on salaries/wages, you’ll find that Kingsport has a very low cost of living coupled with an exceptionally high quality of life (see for yourself at www.BestPlaces.net). The regional airport (TRI) has direct flights to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, Orlando and St. Pete/Clearwater with easy access, parking, and virtually no security lines. The public education system was planned by Columbia University and Newsweek has repeatedly recognized the local high school as one of the best in America. Year in and year out our graduates go on to the top colleges and universities (and without costly private school tuition fees). Harvard also recognized Kingsport in 2009 with the Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiative. What are you waiting for? It’s time to leave the high costs, traffic jams, and stress behind and discover this hidden gem.
