New Fun Fest Coffee Table Book Features Photos, Stories from Thirty Years of Fun Fest

 

Fun Fest – 270 Days of Fun, a newly published coffee table book celebrating the thirty year history of our region's largest summer festival, is now available to the public.

 

The full color, hard cover, glossy commemorative features 176 pages of photos and stories submitted by the public, and replays favorite summer memories of three decades.  The photos and stories are both heartwarming and funny.  Flip through the pages to see Brutus Jeter – the bassett hound who loved the balloons, Mildred McCoy – the Harley Grandma, and Wags the purple dog.  Relive the fun of Fun Fest events past and present – the Chili Cook-off, Crazy Boat Race, Mardi Gras, the Fun Fest Parade, Taste of the Tri-Cities, Weekend Concerts, and many more.  Fun Fest – 270 Days of Fun features the famous and not-so-famous (did you know Gilligan was here?), but most of all the fun, tradition, spirit, and heart of a summer event that has brought people together for thirty years.

 

Fun Fest – 270 Days of Fun is a limited edition publication, available only while supply lasts.  It is offered for $39.95 (plus tax, s&h) by calling 423-246-8121 or 1-800-251-0328, or in person at the Kingsport Times-News during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm.

 

A special Holiday Fun Package is also available, featuring Fun Fest – 270 Days of Fun, along with Festus And His Fun Fest Favorites – a cheery children's book about Festus' adventures at Fun Fest, by Leigh Anne W.  Hoover.  These two new Fun Fest books come packaged and ready for gift-giving, and are available for $43.95 (plus tax, s&h).

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.
