The Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to approve an agreement between the Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce, the Unicoi County Joint Economic Development Board and RISE Erwin to plan and execute some of the town’s most popular events during their meeting on Tuesday.
The groups first presented their idea of working together on the events during a work session on Oct. 3. During that meeting, the groups proposed the first event they would plan would be the Great Outdoors Festival which would be rebranded into a new festival called the Tennessee Trails and Tunes Festival.
