Music on the Mountain 2018 is a Success

The fifth annual Music on the Mountain, Fairyland Elementary School’s major fundraiser, was a great success, as well as a lot of fun. Held at the Lookout Mountain Club overlooking the golf course, this much-anticipated event was co-chaired by Carrie Gallant, Courtney Guthrie and Maggie Corey, who all did an excellent job.

The community turned out in a huge way, and the night was absolutely beautiful, with a picturesque full moon. Held under a tent outside the club, highlights included Paul Hadfield and The Foothills playing some great bluegrass/country music, while the guests enjoyed delicious grilled chicken and pork tenderloin with wonderful sides.

For full coverage of the event, stay tuned for the October issue of the Lookout Mountain Mirror. And, don't forget to check out Tommy Hopper's great pictures from the event. Click here to view the pictures. If you'd like to download them, just click the download link and enter pin code "4488."

Get Your Tickets for Party at Point Park

Andy Mims, Sam Mims and Tony King enjoyed having their picture taken at Umbrella Rock during last year’s Party at Point Park.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, September 6, for the 10th annual National Treasures: Party at Point Park, hosted by National Park Partners. This year’s theme is “Treasure YOUR Park,” and guests are invited to enjoy a casual evening of dinner, drinks and music set against the stunning views from Point Park. Festivities will kick off at 5:30 p.m. and will once again be the only time all year for guests to have pictures made at the iconic Umbrella Rock. Purchase tickets by August 31.

National Treasures co-chairs Becky Browder and Lana Freeland are leading an experienced event committee and coordinating the donations of over 50 items for the silent auction. From restaurant gift cards to one-of-a-kind experiences and specialty baskets, guests will have a wide variety of choices at every price point. The delicious buffet supper will be catered by C&W Café and include southern-style barbecue and all your comfort food favorites, along with some healthy plant-based options. For dessert, Clumpies ice cream cart will be on hand for an after-dinner treat. Throughout the evening, guests will be treated to the smooth sounds of Chattanooga’s own Power Players, featuring Johnny Smith playing R&B favorites with contemporary classics mixed in.

National Park Service Superintendent Brad Bennett will be on hand to visit with event attendees, and interpretive National Park Rangers will be stationed at Umbrella Rock to share stories of how this became the area’s first major tourist attraction, as well as the history of the Ochs Museum. Totaling around 9,100 acres, the Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park is the largest public open space in the region and was the very first National Military Park to be dedicated in the country.

Our National Park remains the largest tourist draw in the Chattanooga area, with 1 million visitors coming annually to spend time among the six units of the Park - Chickamauga Battlefield, Lookout Mountain Battlefield, Missionary Ridge, Moccasin Bend National Archeological District, Orchard Knob and Signal Point.

“We are grateful to have First Tennessee Foundation and McKee Foods returning as our presenting sponsors,” remarked Tricia Mims, executive director of National Park Partners. “The support of the business community and its recognition of the economic impact of the Park, totaling over $70 million in 2017, is deeply appreciated.”

Mims notes that the new National Park Partners organization is the result of a merger between Friends of Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park and the Friends of Moccasin Bend. “The two Friends groups served the National Park for decades, each very successful in carrying out their respective missions,” says Mims. “The time was right to consolidate our operations and become one united philanthropic partner for our National Park, creating efficiencies for Park staff and simplifying the message to the public that these six special places are all part of one National Park.”

Lookout Mountain’s own Keith Sanford, a regular guest of National Treasures, encourages his fellow residents and all who enjoy the peaceful beauty of our National Park to support the event. “Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park is truly a national treasure,” says Sanford. “We all need to do our part to preserve this asset for future generations.”

Tickets to National Treasures are $75 each or $130 per couple, with a portion of the ticket cost being a tax-deductible donation. Host sponsorships are available at $250 and will be listed in the event program. The deadline for purchasing tickets is Friday, August 31. All donations received above the ticket price or in lieu of attending will be matched by a generous challenge grant from the Lyndhurst Foundation, up to $50,000, to support the newly launched National Park Partners organization. For more information, call (423) 648-5623 or visit npp-ccm.org.

Fun at the 2018 Fairyland Festival

Fairyland Festival 2018. Photo by Tommy Hopper.

Fairyland Elementary School's annual Fairyland Festival on May 1 was a fun flurry of activity! Some of the many great booths included face painting, Topple the Teacher, the ever-popular Jail, inflatables, laser tag, and the new farmer’s market. The beautiful black and white student photos were also a big hit!

A few weeks before the big day, the FES PTO started a “Which Teacher Should be Slimed” competition to raise money. Students put spare change into containers designating Troy Green, Jeff Ashworth, or Cory Hall as possible “slim-ees.” Additionally, students paid money to be the slime slingers or even be slimed themselves! At the end of the coin drive, there was a clear winner! Surrounded by quite a crowd, Jeff Ashworth was thoroughly slimed.

A huge thank you goes out to Kristin Tremain, Kim and Marshall Brock, as well as generous sponsors, donors, parents, staff (especially Mr. Ashworth) and the entire community for supporting our school and this fantastic event!
