In order to beautify Maynardville and all of Union County for the Heritage Festival, there will be a Business Front Decoration contest. In years past, the decorations required a hay bale. However, in order to be more inclusive, the contest requirements have changed. Now, any decoration for any business, organization, church, or individual will qualify to enter the contest. As Heritage Festival attendees arrive, lets greet them with festive decorations. The theme for the 2022 Heritage Festival is “Follow your heart.” Union County is known for its artist talent and creativity. If you need help decorating, please reach out, we can help!

First Bank is the three time winner of the decorating contest. Shannon Brooks, states, “I think it is a wonderful event that brings the community together and gives life to the beginning of fall. It is an event that sparks fun, laughter, and unity. My team and I at First Bank look forward to the festival decorating each year and love getting to see just how creative and talented our Union County folks are.”
Registration is due by September 28t. Registration is free and online at tiny.utk.edu/heritage22
