When one of Chota Lodge’s Trustees happens to have an extra flag and sees it’s time to get a better one for a local lodge in the area that he works, he just couldn’t help himself to send a little love their way.

Chota Lodge has lowered its flag to half mast per the Governor and Presidential Order to honor Dolly.

🚕 Festival Taxi Service Announcement!

We are pleased to announce that Copeland’s Custom Carts is generously providing three golf carts for the West Knox Shrine Club to use as our event taxi service during the Olde Concord Fall Festival!

Shriners wearing their famous red fez hats will circulate throughout the event, helping transport attendees to and from their vehicles. ❤️

A special thank-you to owner Daniel Copeland for quickly stepping up to support our festival and help make the day more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. His generosity also helps us continue raising awareness and support for LIFT East Tennessee and local families impacted by autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Please help us thank Copeland’s Custom Carts for being such an incredible community partner!
