Bulls Gap announces upcoming holiday events

BULLS GAP — Hawkins County’s littlest town is always big on special events, especially during the holiday season. That season is fast approaching, and the town already has its schedule of events for later this month and December set.

Parade Bulls Gap typically kicks off the county’s slate of Christmas parades, and they are once again doing it under the lights, with the Bulls Gap Christmas Night Parade slated for 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 28. Participants for the parade will line up at 4:30 p.m. at Bulls Gap School, 315 Allen Dr. Judging of parade floats will begin at 5:30 p.m. The parade is the start of two weekends of events. Jubilee Last year, the town’s annual Christmas Tree lighting took place with part of the city park under construction, as crews were already working on the “new barn” that had been funded by a state grant. Those who attended didn’t let that get in the way of a fun evening, though. The good news is that the “new barn” opened months ago, and

New Kingsport Bridge will connect Brickyard Park to downtown

The City of Kingsport is getting a major boost to help connect Brickyard Park to downtown. Federal officials have awarded the city 5.6 million dollars to build a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the CSX railroad tracks. The bridge will link Brickyard Park directly to Centennial Park downtown. Local transportation officials say the project will give walkers and cyclists a much safer way to cross the tracks, while hopefully bringing more foot traffic to downtown shops and restaurants. As part of the deal with CSX, the existing street-level vehicle crossing will be permanently closed once the bridge is built. Kingsport will pitch in 1.4 million dollars to match the federal grant, adding to 2.6 million already secured from the state. Design work is finished, and construction is expected to kick off in 2027.

Mt. Carmel Elementary gets veteran visit

MOUNT CARMEL — Mount Carmel Elementary fourth-grade students recently participated in a lesson that will stay with them for many years. Joe McCann, a local veteran of the US Marine Corps, visited with the fourth-grade class at MCES not long before Veterans Day, speaking to them about the importance of the American flag and what it represents. McCann demonstrated how to properly raise and take down the flag, and the reasons why and how a flag is sometimes retired. Students were taught the proper steps in folding the flag, and some students were allowed to participate in the folding process. He explained what “half staff” meant, and why the flag is sometimes raised only to half staff. Having served in the Marine Corps, Joe was honored to spend some time with the students. “It’s an honor to be asked to come and share this with students. Our flag represents so much and means a lot to me,” McCann stated. He took time for questions and even some stories from the students, many of whom had family members of their own who had served in the military. “With every fold, our flag tells a proud story,” author unknown. ~Submitted by Mt.
