The Goats of Kingsport
Bear Aware
March 22 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
$3.00
As things begin to warm up, the North American Black Bear emerges from their winter den in search of food. While they are a beautiful – and often described as “cute” – mammal, they are an unmistaken top predator in our ecosystem. So, as the summer gets closer, how do we prepare ourselves in the event of an on-trail encounter? Join a park ranger to learn about the black bear and their traits, as well as discuss common myths that we often hear when encountering them in the wild. Demonstrations will also be shown on what to do if a bear sighting gets a little too close for comfort.
Registration is required. Participants are encouraged to meet at the Farmstead Museum 15 minutes before the program begins. If you have any questions, please call the park at (423) 229-9447.

EVENT CALENDAR PURPOSE AND CRITERIA
A calendar has been created called the This is Kingsport events calendar which will serve as a non-public forum to provide citizens with information about social and organizational gatherings held within the city. The city will disseminate information to the public through this online calendar about social and organizational gatherings which are conducted or promoted by community partners with which the city currently has partnership agreements. Additionally, social or organizational gatherings held on city owned property to which the public at large is invited will be published on this calendar.
Each year the city enters into partnership agreements with multiple community partners some of whom in turn support the city by organizing events or promoting events of members and affiliates. By creating a common source for the dissemination of information about community events the city will be furthering its support of those community partners which in turn support the city. Moreover, the city wishes to and will benefit from highlighting gatherings which will be of benefit and enjoyment to the public.
Community partners may communicate their events or those which they promote to the city which will disseminate the information through the event calendar. Furthermore, the city of Kingsport will publish on the calendar those community events which are held on city property. In order to achieve the city’s goals only those events described herein will be published on the This is Kingsport event calendar which will be curated by city staff.
