The United Way of Blount County officially kicks off its campaign on Thursday, but many business partners and friends are already getting a head start to help meet the United Way goal. First Tennessee personnel decided the “Dog Days of Summer” deserved some “dogs” of their own and hosted a Hot Dog Lunch in their parking lot in downtown Maryville. The value was great. For $5 patrons received two hot dogs, chips, cookie and a drink.
