The Knoxville Chamber’s Peelin’,Eatin’ & Politickin’ didn’t disappoint this year. Boy, did we do all three in the amphitheater at the World’s Fair Park in downtown Knoxville. The event brings together Knoxville’s business community and elected officials for an afternoon of food, music, and networking.
Here are some snapshots from the event yesterday…I believe its safe to say a good time was had by all.
Guests lined up to fill their plates with shrimp, new potatoes, and corn on the cob.
