Hello Greenways Commission friends!
Quick message to share good news that Knoxville's newest greenway mural is just under 100% complete - but there's one last chance to help out before the big party July 10.
If you have time this weekend, our local "force of nature" behind the new mural, Chris Irwin, put out a call for helpers to apply the anti-graffiti top coat this weekend.
I put him in the "to" line of this this e-mail-- if you can help, Chris has the details.
I also wanted to encourage you to plan on going to the Sunday, July 10, 2 PM mural celebration at Tyson Park- and bring your friends!
You can RSVP via Facebook or just mark your calendar - they'll have music and amazing people.
Finally -
These news pieces might help you recruit friends to join the celebration - great videography from WBIR:
And a recent highlight from the city blog:
Finally here's a panorama shot I grabbed off Facebook:
Big change from before, right?
Have a great weekend!
