Jeeps on the Glow

Jeep owners from around the region, now is your time to light up the night during a special event next month at Allandale Mansion.

The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a “Jeeps on the Glow” event on the mansion lawn November 2 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The cost to register a Jeep is $10 and there is no charge for spectators. Each Jeep registered will be “ducked” and awards will be given for Best In Show, Best Custom Jeep and Out of this World Glow.

“We’re inviting all Jeep owners to show off their creativity and decorating skills for this special event,” said Program Administrator Jason Wilburn. “Feel free to use lights, neon accessories or anything else to help your Jeep shine bright after dark,”

Note – Registered Jeeps need to arrive between 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Founded in 1917, the City of Kingsport (pop. 55,400) is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the eastern United States. The city is widely known as a planned community, designed by renowned city planner John Nolen and wrapping around the foot of Bays Mountain – a 3,750-acre park, nature preserve, planetarium and observatory. Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council, a Healthier Tennessee community, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives. While many city names are duplicated throughout the U.S., there’s only one Kingsport – a fact that invokes community pride, known locally as the “Kingsport Spirit.” For more information, please visit www.kingsporttn.gov.
