Time to learn more about the Knoxville area

First of all, be sure to mark the conference dates on your calendar. From 18-21 August, 2010 the genealogical world will be meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee to spend those four days immersed in family history education, networking, shopping, and fun.

Over the next 10.5 months you will be hearing about all the lectures, speakers, vendors, luncheons, and special events. I haven't seen the program yet, but have heard that there are some innovative things to look forward too.

Now that your calendar is marked, it's time to learn more about the Knoxville area. If you live in the area or have visited there, please feel free to share details about the city by posting a comment.
