Our annual Style issue explores lots of opinions, lived experiences, and even historical anecdotes on how personal style impacts almost everything we do. Thinking and talking about style gave me the opportunity to spend some time in the presence of one of East Tennessee’s best biscuit bakers, who, fortunately for those of us who love the fine art of Volunteer tailgating, is also the queen of Benton’s Country Ham. It also gave us a chance to look back upon the career of Downtown Knoxville’s pioneering visual artist-vintage entrepreneur, and my good friend of 30 years, Julie Belcher, and her cowboy partner in crime. We trace the history of style in lots of forms. Like exploring 100 years of Tennessee Valley Fair—going at Chilhowee Park. Or the decade—old gal pal evening that really puts the power of the purse into fundraising for seniors.
Find out how you can join us in supporting this grab-a-deal event, September 18. Or the state-of-the-art marriage of style and fuel efficiency in a luxury SUV hybrid that makes commuting in our infamous metro traffic a whole lot easier and way more fun. Just ask us!
To put a bow on it, our PYA guest columnist, Zoe Egly, reminds us how our obsession with personal style can start even before kindergarten, and in recounting her own experience, makes a terrific observation—that style is storytelling.
We hope you enjoy our September storytelling that showcases style with passion, style with purpose, style with performance, and style brought to you in partnership with those businesses and non-profit organizations who make the creation of West Knoxville Lifestyle possible every month. To them and you, our faithful readers, we say thanks and … I like your style!

As your child turns 18 and steps into adulthood —whether they are heading o to college, joining the workforce, or enlisting in the military—a host of new responsibilities and freedoms come into play. One critical aspect is o en overlooked: the legal shi that occurs when a child becomes an adult under Tennessee law.”
Once your child turns 18, parents no longer have automatic authority to make medical, financial, or educational decisions on their behalf, even if the child is still in high school or financially dependent. ere are two essential documents that every Tennessee family should consider when a child reaches adulthood:
is document allows your adult child to legally authorize a trusted person (o en a parent) to handle financial and legal ma ers on their behalf, including managing bank accounts, filing taxes, handling student loans or financial aid, or signing leases or employment paperwork. Without this document, parents may be unable to assist in routine financial ma ers, even during emergencies.
is document appoints someone to make medical decisions if the adult child becomes incapacitated. It also outlines the child’s preferences for end-of-life care, organ donation, and funeral arrangements. Tennessee law does not allow parents to make these decisions without legal authorization a er age 18.
Without these legal tools, families may be forced into a court-supervised conservatorship which is a time-consuming, expensive, and a court-supervised legal process. Preparing these documents is a proactive, a ordable way to protect your adult child and give everyone peace of mind.

A Visit with Visionaries Julie Belcher and Cowboy Phil, Trailblazers of Knoxville’s Artistic Identity
Just around the corner from the new Covenant Health Park in downtown Knoxville is a creative space brimming with rootsy, Americana style. Housed inside Marc Nelson Denim is Pioneer House of Letterpress and Vintage. This space is part letterpress print shop, part art studio, and part Vintage Western clothing and culture collection. At the helm of this enterprise are Julie Belcher and Phil Rudd, better known by his moniker, Cowboy Phil. Both wield serious credentials in their respective fields.
Julie Belcher is a letterpress printmaker, designer, mixed media with encaustic artist, and Owner and Creative Director of Pioneer House. She is an Appalachian-based artist with a commitment to handcrafted traditions and the creative reuse of vintage materials. With a background in architecture and graphic design, and a former Whittle Communications employee, she played a pivotal role in reviving interest in hand-set letterpress printing. More than two decades ago, she co-founded Yee-Haw Industrial Letterpress, a company that helped spark a movement of restoring old printing presses and bringing them back into functional use. Yee Haw Industrial Letterpress was a guiding light of design and culture on Gay Street for decades, and that tradition resumes at Pioneer House of Letterpress and Vintage with Julie as Creative Director.
She creates her distinctive letterpress prints using antique type and hand-carved imagery, pulling each piece by hand. Her work blends traditional paper monoprints with intricate elements such as drawing, stitching, and layers of melted beeswax.
These materials come together in her mixed-media encaustic paintings. She also buys and sells curated turquoise jewelry and stylish handbags made of recycled leather.
She designs and prints distinctive posters and stationery with vintage illustrations and colloquial phrases that celebrate the Appalachian South, such as “Whoa Mule,” “Sweet Tea,” and “The Rooster may crow, but the Hen delivers the goods.” Her distinctive branding and line of posters for the Knoxville Farmers Market have become part of the Knoxville cultural landscape over the past 25 years.
Julie has spent years sharing her expertise as an educator in the fields of printmaking and arts entrepreneurship. She has
mentored many interns and employees, offering guidance in both creative practice and the business side of art. Her teaching experience includes speaking engagements for organizations such as the Southern Graphics Council International (SGCI) and the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), where she also served as a board member. Julie has led workshops at respected institutions including the Penland School of Craft and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, as well as as universities, museums, and cultural centers throughout the United States. And I am fortunate for her 30 plus year friendship and creative inspiration.
Standing 6-foot-2, Cowboy Phil is truly one of a kind. With his long white hair and easy, wide smile, he exudes a warmth that draws people in. Backed by decades of expertise in vintage Western culture, he greets visitors with genuine hospitality, inviting them to explore his carefully curated collection while sharing its rich history. It’s no wonder famous musicians seek him out to add one-of-a-kind pieces to their wardrobes.
Pioneer House offers a curated collection of vintage Western and honky-tonk apparel, handpicked for quality and style. Shoppers can find classic wool gabardine snap shirts, tailored cowboy trousers, hats, and boots — many dating from the golden eras of Western wear. Cowboy Phil’s collection is also a repository of vintage western wear formerly owned by famous country music stars. In one corner of their shop is a suit once owned by Ernest Tubb. Julie and Phil travel extensively throughout the year, connecting with Western culture fans and musicians, and selling their goods.
Cowboy Phil outfits several well-known country artists who also have a penchant for vintage Western wear and culture, such as Marty Stewart, Charlie Crockett, and Gillian Welch, and fine artist Mark Maggiori, to name a few. One of Cowboy Phil’s mentors and close friends is 92-year-old Manuel Cuevas, who is known as “The Tailor to the Stars.”
Manuel’s style has dressed cultural icons like Johnny Cash, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Dwight Eisenhower, Little Richard, John Lennon, George Harrison, and James Brown. He and Cowboy Phil both believe in dressing as an individual and expressing your personal style through your clothing.
Knoxville has its own brand and style, developed by a richly creative community, and Julie Belcher and Phil Rupp are two creatives who have helped to pave the way and keep that spirit alive.
Pioneer House is always on the lookout for vintage Western wear, and only a small selection is available online. The best finds can be discovered in person at Pioneer House. For early previews and special updates on vintage Western wear, follow Cowboy Phil on his Instagram page @LonesomePinecone

Bag Great Deals at Power of the Purse® September 18 and Help Mobile Meals Feed Homebound Senior Citizens
“It’s an evening that gives your purse a purpose. What we want is a room full of excited shoppers!” says Knoxville-Knox County CAC Mobile Meals Program Manager Sara Keel, MPH. For a decade, Power of the Purse® has built in retail therapy, a purse extravaganza, and gal pal bonding into a fun fund-raising evening that supports the vital work of feeding homebound seniors in virtually every Knox County neighborhood under the CAC Mobile Meals program.
The annual event checks all the boxes. A sale room with nearly a thousand purses merchandised for every occasion; tables full of sparkling jewelry and unique accessories; must-have gifts, services, and experiences at silent auction prices; yummy food and beverages; a fashion show; and last, but not least, vying with 500 shopping buddies for the thrill of the I-got-such-a-great-deal! What’s not to love?
Power of the Purse 2025 kicks off Thursday, September 18 at 4:45 p.m. at Rothchild Catering and Event Center in West Knoxville. Guests can enjoy a beverage, shop the Penny Bandy Jewelry Corner, and bid on silent auction items. But the big buzz in the room builds as guests line up outside the Purse Madness Sale Room which opens to shoppers promptly at 6:00 p.m. And the rush for deals begins.
“We’re very excited this year about how the Purse Madness Sale Room is merchandised with nearly 1,000 donated purses (some gently used, some brand new).” Designer bags, evening bags, department store brand
favorites, seasonal bags, vintage and classic clutches, shoulder and cross-body bags, backpacks, utility bags, totes – the sale promises purses for every purpose and style preference at all price points. “Everything is priced to sell that night so people can purchase exactly what they are looking for,” Sara says. (Or, maybe suddenly see and can’t live without!) Guests can continue to shop throughout the evening’s activities.
Power of the Purse has a loyal band of community supporters. “We have a great relationship with Rothchild Catering. They are always wonderful to work with and prepare such delicious food for our sit-down dinner,” Sara says. “Our media sponsor is WATE and our emcee is their news anchor Lori Tucker, who is a longtime friend of the event. At 7 p.m., J. Jill from The Pinnacle in Turkey Creek will present a fashion show with volunteers in our community as the models,” she adds. The popular women’s store will showcase new styles for fall accessorized with bags from Knoxvillebased designer brand, Patricia Nash Designs.
The evening’s silent auction is an opportunity for local community and business leaders to show their support. “We have amazing products, services and experiences donated for the silent auction to appeal to a wide range of interests for our shoppers or as gifts for spouses, family and friends.” Sports tickets (such as the Smokies and UT sporting events), items for kids, luxury spa treatments (one gift is 50 units of BOTOX®), and show and concert tickets, are just a few of the many valuable items to bid on. The VIP (Very Important Purse) Auction features higher end purses donated by local celebrities and politicians in a separate part of the silent auction.
Ticket sales for the event are limited to the first 500 shoppers. Individual tickets are $40. Or groups and organizations can purchase a table of 10 for $375. Even with single tickets, the purchaser can request which table you want and who you sit by.
“We try to keep ticket prices for dinner and access to the event’s night of fun, food and fabulous shopping relatively low. We want people to feel comfortable shopping and bidding in the silent auction to get the deals they want,” Sara explains.
“Power of the Purse is our signature event for Mobile Meals. It’s the only event we do to benefit it every year. It brings everyone together in the room to think and talk about what seniors are going through in our community,” Sara says. “It’s a powerful community-led event
that supports a very vulnerable population, homebound senior citizens in our own neighborhoods across the county.”
Mobile Meals provides not just nutritious meals, but also safety and social checks and companionship to homebound seniors five days a week. The program served almost 2,000 unique seniors in 2024, with around 1,100 served on any given weekday in routes that go down almost every zip code in Knox County. They’ve also passed the milestone of having served their 10th million meal.
“All proceeds go toward providing meals and what we are finding is that the need is growing every day.” Sara explains Knox County planning came out with a report that revealed the senior population is growing at twice the rate of the entire population of Knox County. “The reason why we love this event is it allows us to generate that extra support we need from the community so we can add on seniors quickly at the point they really need it. We have no waitlist – something we are very proud of.”
The goal is to help seniors lead healthy lives in their own homes. Current stats bear out that Mobile Meals is able to provide over two years of weekday meals for the same cost as one day in a hospital or a week and a half in assisted living. Money that goes toward the meals and the daily check-in goes a long way.
“During the in-person visit, our volunteers have eyes on that senior every day which helps prevent bigger issues to catch when things go wrong. We can address problems before they threaten their safety, health, or housing and enable us to be proactive in helping ensure seniors can stay in their homes.”
Mobile Meals is under Knoxville-Knox County CAC Nutrition Services and works closely with the Office on Aging, referring clients to them for their many programs and resources for seniors.
Volunteers have an app that gives them a reporting option while delivering if they see something concerning. “Our volunteers are our eyes and ears on the ground. We have a social worker in our office who goes through all the concerns our volunteers report back. Over the last year she worked on 1500 issues our volunteers brought to her attention.”
Mobile Meals serves Knox County residents who are at least age 60, are homebound, and cannot prepare their own food, or have no one to prepare food for them during the day. Sara urges if you know someone who can benefit, they can call to sign up.
“We send out someone immediately to assess their needs, register them, and once signed up, clients are on the list as long as they need services and meet the requirements.”
During the Power of the Purse evening, Sara and her staff share information on the need for volunteering. “It takes around 100 volunteers every weekday to service all our seniors and our working core is at least 2000 active volunteers.” People volunteer from churches and other community groups,
college students, retirees, even families and groups of friends who want to volunteer together.
There is an ongoing need for volunteers. Knoxseniors.org has an online application for volunteers and the staff is very responsive once someone reaches out for information. It only takes two hours out of a day to volunteer and there are opportunities and places all over town to serve every weekday, especially in more rural areas. “In some cases, we can put you to volunteer in your own neighborhood!” Sara says.
Power of the Purse helps offset much of this growing need in the senior community to be able to fully meet it. Meet up with your BFFs September 18 for some power shopping to improve the lives of senior neighbors throughout Knox County.

GLE 450e 4MATIC SUV Luxury SUV Plug-In Hybrid from Mercedes-Benz of Knoxville
Car and Driver explains it this way, “If you’re not quite ready to go fully electric with your next luxury SUV, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450e plug-in hybrid lets you get some experience at the charging station while maintaining the long-distance drivability of a gas-powered crossover.” Knoxville is a hometown where 25–50-mile roundtrips are part of daily life, family schedules are packed, and the mountains and lakes are always calling. It’s a place that demands vehicle versatility—room for kids and gear, power for weekend getaways, and efficiency and comfort for commutes that can stretch from Downtown Knoxville to Farragut.
The dual powertrain of Mercedes-Benz PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles) delivers flexibility, driving excitement, and fuel efficiency. Its electric-only range can mean emission-free daily drives—school drop-offs, grocery runs, workdays—without using a drop of fuel. For longer trips, switch seamlessly between electric and gas. The 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system provides responsive handling in varying terrain and weather. Standard safety systems add confidence for parents and commuters alike.
A test drive at Mercedes-Benz of Knoxville reveals a dramatically advanced cabin concept pairing user-friendly technology with fine craftsmanship.
Few names in luxury automotive dealerships carry the weight of history and homegrown trust like MercedesBenz of Knoxville, a member of the family-led enterprise Furrow Automotive Group. If you are wondering how it feels to drive the GLE 450e, Mercedes-Benz of Knoxville is the place to find out. MercedesofKnoxville.com

Kennedie was an excellent student and athlete with a bright future ahead, so it came as a total surprise when she was diagnosed with scoliosis at 14 years old.
Kennedie and her mom were excited to go shopping for her first formal dress but as she was trying on dresses, her mom noticed for the very first time how her ribs were sticking out. It wasn’t until after they took formal pictures that her mom also noticed how much higher her left hip was than her right. Her parents immediately made her an appointment and Kennedie was getting x-rays the following week.
Kennedie and her parents got the surprise of their lives when they learned that she had scoliosis with a 57-degree S curve, which would require surgery. Despite receiving this shocking news, they knew surgery was the best option for her after discussing it with her doctor.
It was very important to her and her family that recovery was quick and successful so Kennedie could
get back to doing what she loved most – running. After doing a lot of research and reading a story on East Tennessee Children’s Hospital’s website about other children who received the same surgery, they felt confident in the hospital and the outcome.
“I was nervous about the surgery but prayed a lot and felt better after talking to my cousin’s friend who also runs cross county and got the surgery,” said Kennedie. With that
confirmation and feeling at peace with her decision, she was ready to move forward with surgery.
On March 25th, Kennedie received scoliosis surgery and within 24 hours was asking to be up before physical therapy arrived to begin helping her walk. Within two weeks, she was getting out of bed and moving around on her own. “Her recovery was phenomenal, and her surgery team was great,” said Kennedie’s mom.
At the four-week mark, her doctor gave her permission to start walking and swimming again. “You could see the change in Kennedie because it gave her permission to be her again,” said Kennedie’s dad.
Fast forward a few weeks, Kennedie is running and preparing for cross country season for her sophomore year of high school. “Everything about this process was top notch. We were given a lot of peace of mind by the team and Children’s Hospital. Kennedie is back to doing what she loves!”

INthis unexpected love affair, fashion and interiors are more than just a simple pairing—they are rooted in culture, creativity, and the human desire for self-expression.
As conscious consumers of the 21st century, participating in a retail landscape that is oversaturated and struggling to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the modern customer, our purchasing power should not only respond to a feeling of want but also prioritize items that reflect who we are and who we aspire to be. This is clearly visible through the representation of fashion and interiors.
Although we tend to consider cost-per-wear primarily when it comes to clothing, this same principle applies to furniture and the function it brings to the
home. Aesthetics and functionality both play a role in this pairing, painting a picture for the rest of the world of who the wearer is and how they live in their space.
The woman who wears a blazer with sharp shoulders that makes her feel powerful in her everyday life—or the black dress that gives her a necessary boost of confidence—may naturally gravitate toward sleek, modern furniture that feels equally strong and elevates the space where the modern woman thrives.
In the same way, someone who prefers an effortless ensemble—like their favorite white T-shirt and comfortable denim jeans—may also look for home pieces that are functional and make their guests feel at ease. Even a handmade rug, one that

sparks conversation about where it was found and adds a focal point to a room, mirrors how we search our closets for a sweater tied to a cherished memory.
Just as we carefully choose outfits to express ourselves, it’s equally important to ensure that our living spaces are designed with the same intention. More than ever, modern buyers are making purchasing decisions based on personal morals and values, forming a new wave of consumers who seek products that are both high-quality and environmentally or socially conscious, whether for themselves or their homes.
The following imagery affirms that living a timeless lifestyle across all aspects of life is possible through the thoughtful styling of sustainable clothing and vintage furniture. As the modern retail landscape continues to evolve, it’s become increasingly vital to make conscious consumer choices—ones that allow us to express our truest selves through both our wardrobes and the places we call home.
“JUST AS WE CAREFULLY CHOOSE OUTFITS TO EXPRESS OURSELVES, IT’S EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT OUR LIVING SPACES ARE DESIGNED WITH THE SAME INTENTION.” “Shining

Coco Chanel once said, “Every day is a fashion show, and the world is your runway.” Six-year-old me took that quite literally. I had been talking nonstop about my first day of kindergarten—a highly anticipated event and an exhaustive subject for anyone around me.
Some kids grew up with parents who would drop everything to drive them to school. Not me. My parents fully intended to put my twin brother and me on the school bus every morning until we could drive ourselves.
I’ve made declarations about random things at every age of my life, and 6 was no exception. I told my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, people at church—whoever would listen—that I was going to march onto that school bus and walk down the aisle like a little kindergarten model. (Clearly not considering that 1. we were the second stop on the route, so my audience would be my bus driver, Carol, and a handful of Amish kids, and 2. kindergarteners had to sit at the front of the bus, making my “runway” only about a foot long.)
Hilariously, when my big day finally came, my dad had to carry me—crying—onto the bus. No kindergarten model here.
You can never redo a first impression. While that may be true, you can do your best to make sure people mostly forget what their first impression of you even was. Fortunately for me, the only people who remember that are my parents and Carol.
Looking back, that moment still makes me laugh—but it also reminds me how style and presentation have always mattered to me. Not in a superficial way, but in the way they signal confidence, care and self-respect. Whether you’re walking down a school bus aisle or walking into a meeting, what you wear—and how you wear it—tells a story.
That morning ended in tears, but it taught me more than I realized. It wasn’t just the drama of unmet expectations—it was my first lesson in how preparation and reality don’t always match. I had the plan, the vision, the outfit, the confidence (right up until I didn’t). That tension between control and chaos has followed me in more adult forms—pitches or ideas that didn’t land, outcomes that didn’t match effort, outfits that looked better in my head.
But it also taught me resilience. You recover. You try again. You figure out what matters, fix what you can and keep showing up—sometimes overdressed, but always learning.

Volunteer tailgating in Big Orange Country is steeped in an all-y'all welcoming hospitality, trade secret recipes, and a fierce loyalty to the young men who give their all for Tennessee. Whether you're tailgating close to Neyland Stadium, joining the Vol Navy, or tenting it on campus, there are homegrown staples that never disappoint. Long before she was West Knoxville Lifestyle Co-Publisher, Amy Campbell created The Tennessee Farm Table radio show and podcast, chatting with favorite local family-owned producers.
This month, Amy’s farm-to-football feature showcases a biscuit recipe from Sharon and Allan Benton which can beat any ‘What to serve?’ tailgate brunch blues. Enjoy!
Country ham is synonymous with Tennessee. And smoking hams in Appalachia has been a food preservation technique here for centuries. East Tennesseans are fortunate to have one of the world’s premier ham smokers right down the road in Madisonville. And he just so happens to be married to one of the finest biscuit makers in Tennessee as well. This dream team is Allan and Sharon Benton, who along with their son Darrell Benton, are family owners of Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country Ham.
I offer that one of the most perfect foods for a tailgate is the humble Country Ham Biscuit. While it is true that people go all out with Tennessee tailgating, what with Big Green Eggs, portable grills, arugula, and fine tableware. All that is appreciated, but if we get down to brass tacks, a country ham biscuit is the real crowd pleaser for brunch to sunset tailgates.
There is comfort and convenience in wrapping a warm ham biscuit in foil and going on down the road. For those without dietary restrictions, I’ve rarely seen a person turn it down, especially when it’s a biscuit made with Sharon Benton’s recipe, laden with Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country Ham. Talk about a Tennessee treat. Now that’s good eating.

I wanted to share Sharon’s biscuit recipe with you (with Sharon’s blessing). She first learned to make biscuits from her mother by cutting in shortening, but she developed this recipe with trial and error so that the biscuits won’t crumble and fall apart. She used to use legendary White Lily flour, but after it sold, she found the wheat that is used was not the same, so she switched to using Our Best flour.
She also uses Cruze Farm Buttermilk which means she omits shortening in her recipe. Cruze Farm Buttermilk is a churned buttermilk so it’s richer in butterfat and gives the biscuit dough elasticity. The types of buttermilk in the big stores will not work as well. Use Cruze Farm Buttermilk (or a churned buttermilk if you can find it) so your tailgate guests can eat “on the go” walking to the stadium and won’t lose half their biscuit in the process.
• 3 cups self-rising flour (Our Best brand)
• 1 ½ to 1 ¾ cups high-quality churned buttermilk (Cruze Farm Buttermilk)
• Melted butter or margarine for topping biscuits
PREPARATION:
1. Preheat oven to 400°
2. In a large mixing bowl, add flour.
3. Add buttermilk a little at a time so it doesn’t get too moist. The less you stir and handle the dough, the less tough the biscuits will be. Try your best to handle the dough as lightly as possible.
4. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Sharon uses a pastry cloth that she keeps in a drawer for easy cleanup. The dough should be moist.
5. Work some flour into the dough from the floured surface until the dough is no longer sticky.
6. Pat your dough out to ½ inch and cut straight down with a cutter. Do not twist the cutter!
7. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Let the sides touch for a softer biscuit, for finished sides. Use all of the dough.
8. Brush tops of biscuits lightly with melted butter.
9. Bake for 15 minutes. Brush with more butter if desired. And serve at once.
Baking or frying is recommended. Frying is easiest for tailgating. Or, make ahead of time and bring them to your tailgate.
1. Trim fat from the ham slices.
2. Place a small amount of the ham fat (or bacon grease/ vegetable oil) in a heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat. (If desired, soak ham slices in milk or water for at least 30 minutes to reduce saltiness.)
3. Once the fat has rendered and begins to bubble, place the ham slices in the skillet.
4. Cook the ham for a short amount of time, turning frequently, until lightly browned (only a few seconds per side for ham steaks) and drain.
“I pat out the dough with my hands until it is about ½ inch thick. You can use a rolling pin, but that’s one more thing to wash!”
— Sharon Benton
SCHOOLHOUSE FIRST. SMOKEHOUSE SECOND.
Allan’s first job out of school was as a high school guidance counselor. One look at his first paycheck, and he knew he needed to do something different to make a living. Sharon went on and made quite a name for herself in education, supervising curriculum in Monroe County, but is now retired. When I asked her if she made biscuits every day, she looked at me, laughed, and said, “No, I’m retired!” It is highly doubtful that Allan will ever retire. He wakes up seven days a week at 4:30 a.m., ready to get to work. Allan’s culinary reputation for curing ham gets the national attention, but it’s Sharon who steers the ship. She is the pillar of the family.
Allan bought his business from the late Albert Hicks when he began renting the business from Mr. Hicks in 1973. Mr. Hicks was a dairy farmer who began curing and selling country hams out of a block building when he started the business in 1947. It was not always easy for the Bentons. Allan had several years of not knowing if his business was going to make it. But with his goal to create a world-class product, a regional fine-dining scene, and five-star chefs heralding Benton’s products, fast forward to today, and Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country Hams actually are famous all over the world. Benton devotees were delighted in 2024 when Darrell Benton made a career change from a radiologist, reading film in a dark room all day, to working alongside his father running Benton’s. Comparing the two, Darrell likes to say, “There are no ham emergencies.” In the early days when Allan and Sharon’s kids were small, Darrell and Allan didn’t get to spend much time together, so they both cherish this time working together now.

ARTICLE BY PAUL JAMES AND JACK NEELY | PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLUSTRATIONS BY MCCLUNG HISTORICAL COLLECTION, TENNESSEE VALLEY FAIR, AND KHP
Now well past its 100th anniversary, the Tennessee Valley Fair, when it opens on September 5, continues its legacy as one of the most fun events on the fall calendar.
The spot where it all takes place, Chilhowee Park, looms large in the fair’s past. After the Civil War, Fernando Cortez Beaman, a dairy farmer from New York state, established a dairy farm here, which his wife ran while he taught at various schools. The couple dammed up several springs on the property to create what would become known as Beaman Lake.
Hackney carriages began to carry pleasure-seekers from downtown to this new park in 1887, but three years later Beaman changed the name to Lake Ottossee—it was said to be a Cherokee word meaning “unexcelled,” which may have been a joke, but it was generally taken to mean, the “lake you ought to see.”
Luring Knoxville residents from downtown, where most of the soot and grime accumulated, the park became much more popular when streetcars came along in the 1890s. However, three significant cultural events changed Chilhowee Park forever.
Large wooden, World’s Fair-like buildings were constructed for the Appalachian Expositions of 1910 and 1911, each with its own theme including local industry, the arts, and achievements by local Black
people, while the grounds staged exotic performers and circus animals. The grander National Conservation Exposition of 1913 naturally focused on environmental themes, but it also featured acrobatic feats and daredevil motorcycle races.
In the wake of these widely successful events, and the facilities that Chilhowee Park presented, local leaders and civic champions began to consider hosting a permanent state fair-type event here.
Knoxville would be much less than it is without contributions from the many enterprising immigrants who have settled here and realized big dreams. One was Khalil Barkoot from Syria, a traveling showman
who settled here and obtained a long-term lease on Chilhowee Park and organized a couple of fall festivals beginning in 1914. Other leaders included furniture store magnate James Sterchi; Canadian Harcourt Morgan a UT professor of entomology and zoology (and later UT president); as well as local farmer, Hugh Faust; Moses Jacob, state veterinarian; and two automobile dealers, Claude Reeder and Frank Kerr.
The East Tennessee Division Fair opened early October 1916. As one reporter put it, “The lumbering of big freight wagons, the cackle of the hens, mooing of the cows, and neighing of horses…intermingled with the symphony of two bands, and made things hum…” Reportedly, 40,000 Knoxvillians showed up.
According to historian Stephen Ash in his 1985 book, Meet Me at the Fair!, you could also enjoy “Barkoot’s Great Carnival Company Midway, Carlo the High-Diving Dog, and the Three Dablas with their daring trapeze act.”
It wouldn’t always be smooth sailing for fair organizers in those early years. In 1919, despite the fact it was billed as “The Most Gigantic Exhibition and Celebration ever held in the Entire Southeast: A Good Old Fashioned Fair,” city health officials closed the event briefly over concerns during the influenza epidemic that claimed 200 local lives that year.
In the 1920s, the fair expanded with amusement rides, now permanently added to Chilhowee Park, including a wooden rollercoaster. Temporary spectacles ranged from the “Saucer of Death,” featuring madcap motorcyclists, to the bizarre: “The Amazing Ritter: The “man who wrestles himself.”
Organizers hoped the fair would appeal to everyone, but during the Jim Crow era, although Black people were welcome and some did attend, they also held their own “Colored Department” fair after the main event. In the early days, Black people weren’t allowed in the permanent amusement park except on special days like August 8, known as Emancipation Day, but that changed later.
In the 1930s, the event became known as simply the Tennessee Valley Fair, and some old elements faded away. The main exposition-era building burned down in 1938. Construction of its replacement was supervised by veterinarian Moses Jacob, and what later became known as the Jacob Building was named for him.
Aside from all the fun, the agricultural displays and competitions have remained mainstays of the fair. But as times have changed, the women’s exhibitions, for example, that ran for several decades highlighting new trends in clothes and home décor, have been replaced by new favorites such as fine art competitions, flower shows, doll shows, and quilt shows. More energetic competitions include Lego-building and robotic tournaments.
Livestock shows remain ever popular, including tractor pulls, rodeo shows, and Demolition Derbies that always attract huge crowds, as does the perennial midway with wild amusement rides, side-show attractions, and food booths. And, yes, the fair still often has performing dog shows!
The Homer Hamilton Theater was added in 1954 (named after a horse vet and supporter) and over the years has hosted concerts from all kinds of performers, including legendary rock and rollers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and also James Brown; as well as country-music stars Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings. More recently, wide-ranging classic acts like REO Bandwagon, Joan Jett, and Vanilla Ice have performed there. This year’s shows feature rock group Styx and rapper Flo Rida performing on this historic stage.
And amid all the hoopla, Lake Ottosee is still there, albeit much smaller than it once was, and adjacent to it is the 1910 marble pavilion, built to accommodate brass bands, and still standing after 115 years.
