50th Anniversary Celebration & Silent Auction
October 25 | Pellissippi State Community College, Blount Campus
Tickets $50 – In 1974, the Blount County Friends of the Library began its journey to support the Blount County Public Library. A celebration of the last 50 years will culminate in a Golden Anniversary event you won’t want to miss. On October 25th, we’ll be partnering with Pellissippi State Community College Culinary and Hospitality departments to host a 50th Anniversary celebration.

The event will take place at the West Building on Pellissippi’s Blount Campus on Lamar Alexander in Friendsville. Food and some specially created mocktails will be provided. We will also have music from a well-known cellist. The event will begin at 6:00 and go until 9:00.

In addition, we will begin a Silent Auction on Clickbid one week before the event. The auction items will go live on October 17th . The auction will close the night of the event.

Tickets are on sale on our website (button below will take you to the form). If you can’t attend, feel free to bid once the auction begins. In the meantime, you can donate $19.74 (for the year we started) or $50 (for our 50th anniversary) or any other amount using the buttons below.
