The holidays are a time for giving back and giving thanks. At Hickory, we recognize that our skilled team is a huge part of our success, which is why we look forward to celebrating staff at our annual holiday party.
This year’s party took place Saturday, December 9, at Bearden Banquet Hall in West Knoxville. Surrounded by fun decorations and delicious food, guests were treated to live music from local Americana duo, Pale Root, as well as games including Name That Tune, Jeopardy, and various door prizes.
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of employee awards, a treasured tradition that Hickory has held for more than 30 years.
Congratulations to the 2017 winners!
