Tonight October 17, the 2024 Knoxville FCA held the annual award banquet, “Night of Influence”. Tonight’s Keynote Speaker was ESPN Analyst Jimmy Dykes. Follow Dykes on X formerly Twitter, here.
My friend Jennifer Duncan of the Lavelle Law Firm and Board Member of the Knoxville FCA honored me by hosting as one of her guests.
A crowd of 800-1,000 filled the Knoxville Expo Center aka The Grande Event Center. The dinner included salad, green beans, mashed potatoes, grilled chicken, grilled beef, bread and an assortment of desserts. An excellent meal.
Dykes gave an inspirational and motivating speech. He also pledged to text UT Mens basketball Coach Rick Barnes that he (Dykes) out sold the dinner when Barnes was the featured Speaker a few years ago.
