School starts in about a month, and that means Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s Back to School Bash is just around the corner.  The annual event is an opportunity for students and their families to get free school supplies and enjoy activities, free food, special programs, vendors and more.

An estimated 4,000 people attended last year’s event, so Mayor Burchett is making the 2013 bash even bigger, with more space and more vendors offering school supplies.

The second annual Back to School Bash is sponsored by the Knoxville Expo Center (http://knoxvilleexpocenter.com), Star 102.1 (http://star1021fm.com), CW20 (http://cw20tv.com) and United Healthcare Community Plan (http://bit.ly/UHCCP).  Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s Back to School Bash is free and open to the public.
