THE KENNETH "COON" VICTORY

Each year the Smyrna Parks and Recreation department has an award ceremony for an individual that has gone above and beyond in the service to our community plus many other awards for noted people. Here is the announcement for the award.

THE KENNETH "COON" VICTORY
LIFETIME SERVICE AWARD

The 2011 Kenneth "Coon" Victory Lifetime Service Award presentation and Volunteer of the Year Dinner will take place Friday, February 17, 6:30pm, Smyrna Town Centre. Mr. Robert Lee “Bud” Raikes will be honored as the 2011 Lifetime Service Recipient, along with Smyrna youth and adult league Volunteers of the Year, Parent of the Year, Coach of the Year, and Small & Large Business of the Year. The Kenneth “Coon” victory Lifetime Service Award is presented annually to pay tribute to a Smyrna citizen who has distinguished him or herself by years of unselfish and dedicated volunteer service to the Smyrna community, either in youth and/or adult athletics or other civic and non-profit organizations. The award is an ongoing tribute to Kenneth "Coon" Victory, also a former Commissioner of Parks and Recreation, and his family as a reminder of the years of volunteer contributions they have given to the Smyrna community. The award is also a reminder of how genuine dedication to community projects can help maintain the hometown spirit of working together to make dreams become realities. Coon Victory proved that dreams can come true and that fast growing communities can maintain the special hometown atmosphere through volunteer service.

Nothing captures the attention of a child as much as an icky looking reptile, or a fuzzy feline...so this show is made for them. Saturday just before noon take your kids to an experience they will not soon forget.
