During the daylong celebration, leaders from Tommy's Boats, the Town of Farragut, the Tennessee legislature, OC Construction, and the local community will gather to celebrate Tommy's commitment to providing the Knoxville community with exceptional lake life experiences.

Farragut Mayor Ron William recognized Tommy's Boats' commitment to the business community.

"Tommy's Boats investment helps provide economic prosperity through jobs and by attracting water sport enthusiasts to our community.
