‘My Mayfly’ Comes Home to East Tennessee for World Premiere at Film Fest Knox

My Mayfly, the first feature film from writer-director Paula Kay Hornick, will celebrate its world premiere at Film Fest Knox on Saturday, November 14, at 9:15 p.m. at Regal Riviera, Theater 2, 510 S. Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. Starring Adelaide Clemens with Alicia Witt and Johnathon Schaech, it was shot in the Great Smoky Mountains and Knoxville. The film follows a woman whose relentless pace of life has little room for the people and things that matter most. When she embarks on a solo fly-fishing trip to prove something to herself, a harrowing experience in the wilderness and an encounter with a mysterious forest ranger force her to confront the past she’s been running from and reconsider what truly matters.

Patriot Legacies: Barclay McGhee an early explorer, landowner

Barclay McGhee was born Aug. 15, 1760. He was likely the son of Robert McGhee (1759-1819). As a young man, he lived in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. He would have been about 15 years old when the Revolutionary War began in 1775. Few records have been found documenting his possible military service. One record indicates he participated in an expedition in the Ohio River Valley. His name appears on the “Pay Roll of Captain Joseph Ogles Campanie of Ohio Militia on the Expedition to Coshockton for 19 days.” The expedition was documented around April 19, 1781. McGhee would have been 20 at the time. The company consisted of about 40 men on horseback. The men, including McGhee, appear to have been paid about $10 each for the expedition. McGhee was listed as a private. At some point, Barclay McGhee married Jane McClanahan (1767-1835). Jane was the daughter of surveyor Charles McClung, who prepared the original plats of Knoxville in 1790. She was the granddaughter of James White, considered the founder of Knoxville. Barclay McGhee was likely wealthy when he arrived in the area. He added to his wealth through extensive landholdings in Monroe County. According to a 1976 article in

Dolly Parton fans took over this flight. It became a celebration

SANFORD, Florida – I counted at least six blonde wigs on a Dolly Parton-inspired flight from Florida to Tennessee. “We knew the assignment, so we had to do it,” Karen Nehus said after we landed. She wore a pink sequined jacket, black fringe shirt and matching pants with her mane of platinum curls. Other passengers donned denim, rhinestones and T-shirts with Parton’s face on it for Allegiant Air Flight 925. It was the first of two specially numbered "Destination Dollywood" flights from Orlando Sanford International Airport to Knoxville's McGhee Tyson Airport on Nov. 6, and part of a whole weekend planned at Dollywood. Allegiant and Dollywood dreamed up the fan experience well before Parton's passing in August, announcing the first flight back in February. “Allegiant tells us the Dollywood-themed flight was one of the fastest-selling flights in their history,” Dollywood Parks & Resorts President Eugene Naughton said in a statement in March, when the second flight, Flight 2925, was announced. Both were numbered after Parton's hit song "9 to 5." "It just looked like something really fun to do and we all like Dolly and we thought it would be a blast, which it was," Nehus said. “We were very
