Knox County and the Water Quality Forum will host the 5th annual Cheers to Clean Water Celebration and Clean-Up on Saturday, June 11 at Suttree Landing Park.
The event, which includes a water race for kayaks and paddle boarders, kicks off at 11:30 a.m. and registration is open until 10:30 a.m. the day of the event.
Following the race there will be a celebration that includes local vendors and booths, kids’ activities, kayaks for rental, blue grass music, food trucks, rain barrels, and prizes. The celebration and clean up are free and open to the public but the race costs $15. Local breweries have donated beer and it will be available for purchase for those 21 and older.
“This event is a fun way to promote the importance of keeping our rivers and streams clean,” said Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs.
