Haven’t Been to Knoxville Since the Worlds Fair
Posted by Brody on October 28, 2009I have not been to Knoxville, TN since the 1982 Worlds Fair. My parents took the family there and we had a great time. It was the most fun we had as a family group in years that summer. The fair as I remember it was huge and full of wonderful exhibits and exhibitions. We were there for several days as I recall and ate tons of foods from all over the world and saw exhibits of Japanese textiles. African art and so many ore things I can not remember them all. It was all so over whelming as I recall taking in all the sites and information.
Now I have to go to Knoxville on business more than twenty years latter. I really never thought I would be through Knoxville again especially now we are living in Colorado. The rooms that were booked for me at hotels Knoxville is near the park where the world’s fair was held. i am thinking I will take some time and wander through the park and see if it brings back any memories. It will be interesting to see what was left from the fair and how it has been incorporated into a park.
I know that in 2002 there was an exhibit in Knoxville commemorating the twenty year anniversary of the fair. So I wonder how much stuff is left around from the fair.
I will be there for a little over a week giving some training on a new computer program we are rolling out company wide. I was surprised I was selected to be the one going to do the training but I suppose it does make sense since the work donein Knoxville will have more of an impact on my department than any other. Well now I have to think about packing and getting someone to watch the house and animals while I am out of town.
