Boot Scootin' Ball



Story and photography by Liz Lyons

The Boot Scootin’ Ball isn’t your typical Friday evening affair. This high-end, western-themed event encourages you to put on your boots and get on the dance floor with line dancing and music provided by the award-winning Montgomery Gentry Band. Other treats include signature moonshine cocktails, bottomless beer in your mason jar mug and a chance to take home a unique item from a silent auction that claims to be “Texas sized.”

As if that weren’t enough, all of this fun is for a good cause. The Boot Scootin’ Ball benefits Knox Area Project Access which is a broad-based community charity created to provide access to health care for low-income, uninsured individuals in Knox County. Since 2006, Knox Area Project Access has coordinated more than $222 million dollars in donated health care to more than 27,000 low income East Tennesseans without access to health insurance or government sponsored program.

Now, as we turn the calendar to June and look ahead to July, the promise of sunnier days feels like a welcome reward.  Read More
