Amazing Grace Race - This event is similar to the TV show, the Amazing Race. It takes contestants all over Knox County, exposing them to some interesting places and things around the county. But, don't be slow! This is a race! Contestants are given challenges they must complete along the way before they get their clue to the next station. Teams consist of two people, but we do allow children to compete with an adult team. Or, kids who are unable to drive may compete as long as they have someone who can drive them around the county. The entry fee is $20 per team. The winning team gets a $100 prize.
Demonstrations - This year along with the Art and Cultural Fair, there will be educational demonstrations put on by artists. They will show you fun techniques, talk to you about their art and how they do what they do. Topics will include painting, carving, calligraphy and Pinterest projects. Exact topics will be defined closer to the event. These are free to attend.
Domino Tournament - This will start at 2:00 p.m. at the MEC.
