Farragut talent on display

Artists hailing from Farragut come in many forms — actors, singers/songwriters, muralists, graphic designers, designers and sculptors. Thus, Farragut Museum, located in Farragut Town Hall, is featuring them in a new temporary exhibit, “Farragut Focus: A Creative Community.” “We just really wanted to showcase some of the artists who have come from Farragut,” said Kristi Vining, Historic Resources coordinator. “We are really proud of all we accomplished and the contributions that we’ve made to the art world. “These former Farragut residents — and some are still Farragut residents — have a lot to be proud of, so we wanted to share their stories,” she said. The exhibit runs now through the end of April in the museum, 11408 Municipal Center Drive, and focuses on Farragut artist: performing, visual, literary and musical. Admission is free. Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. “We have docents there [at the museum] who’ll give a tour and answer questions,” Vining said.

Dads, daughters invited to Shamrock Ball

Daddies and their daughters once again will have a chance to dance together as Town of Farragut presents its annual Shamrock Ball Saturday, March 21, in Farragut Community Center, 239 Jamestowne Blvd. “It’s our favorite event of the year,” Town Parks & Recreation director Ron Oestreich exclaimed. “Dads and daughters all dressed up — it’s so fun to see all the dresses and how excited the little girls are to be with their dads and to dance with their friends and just have a great time here.” There will be two time sessions from which to choose: from 3 to 5 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. “They’re both equally popular,” he said of the sessions. However, Oestreich observed the younger girls usually come from 3 to 5 p.m. then the older girls attend the 6 to 8 p.m. session. Cost for the event is $30 per couple. They can register at the front desk of Farragut Community Center or visit online at townoffarragut.org “If there’re multiple children, then it’s $5 for each additional child,” he said. Oestreich anticipates 100 couples will attend each session.
