Kids Crawl - July 31 - 1-3



Kids Crawl, July 31, 1-3

On Saturday, July 31, KingsportARTS will host the first annual Kids Crawl from 1-3 at Memorial Park in Kingsport. Kids can bring their parents for free and visit a multitude of tables set up by area organizations, each featuring an art or craft. Some organizations include Kingsport Fire Department, Kingsport Police Department, Arts4Kids and Premier Athletics. Chick-Fil-A will be there with the cow and Texas Roadhouse is bringing Andy the Armadillo. Hey Photo Guy! will be present to take pictures as well which will be made available online.

The Kids Crawl is in conjunction with the Arts Crawl in September and will be used as a fundraiser for the Arts4Kids program as well as the K.E.Y.P.A.D. Project. A Kids Art Korner will be set up at which the kids will pool their creative talent to create several paintings on canvas, which will then be sold at silent auction the night of the Arts Crawl. At the Arts4Kids table, parents may sign their kids up for workshops throughout the coming school year as well as pick up information on the K.E.Y.P.A.D Project. Arts4Kids and JACK t-shirts will be available for purchase for $3 each.

 

The first 100 kids to sign in at the Arts4Kids table will receive a FREE canvas backpack featuring the Arts4Kids logo.

 

Any organization wishing to participate should contact Tina Radtke, KingsportARTS Program Director, at (423) 392-8420.

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, 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.
