Last Night’s Knoxville and Knox County Candidate Expo Was Fun

Last night at the Knoxville Expo Center many of the 2017 Knoxville City Council and some of the 2018 Knox County candidates were set up to meet with the voters.

This event is at least the third one in the past several years, thanks to the generosity of Tim Graham the owner of the Knoxville Expo Center.
