Kenny Chesney has been named Tennessean of the Year by the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. Kenny's being honored for his documentary on high school football, called Boys of Fall, and his upcoming documentary called The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story…it’s a film about the Southeastern Conference's first African-American starting quarterback. ESPN will air that documentary later on this month. Mr. Chesney will be honored at a banquet in Nashville on February 11th, which I hope to attend...
If you’re thinking that’s a weird honor to bestow on a Country star...to be in the Sports Hall of Fame...you're not alone. I thought the same thing at first. But, Kenny isn't the only Country Star to be honored...Vince Gill won in 1995. Vince helped create the annual Vince gill Pro-Celebrity invitational golf Tournament ("The Vinny")...it supports jr. golf programs throughout Tennessee. And Hank Williams Jr. was chosen in 2007...after all, he’s been the voice of Monday night football for years and years...
So Congrats Kenny…hope to see you next week!
-Ashley
