WKNO Documentary on Shelby Farms Park airs October 7!
 Want to experience Shelby Farms Park from the comfort of your living room? WKNO and Camys are making it possible. On October 7 at 7:00 pm, WKNO is premiering their first HD documentary, Shelby Farms: America’s Great 21st Century Park. The documentary will explore the history, present and future of the Park, including the exciting transformations the Park will experience through our Master Plan. We want you to enjoy the documentary with your friends, on your couch, pizza in hand. The first 10 hosts who register their viewing party with us and will receive a $25 Camys pizza coupon along with a discussion guide. After the show, you can join the conversation about Shelby Farms Park online. More details next week about how to register your party!
