A new Panasonic projector with new lens was installed at the Princess today, by Jon Chemay and Morgan Anderson (photos by Darren York)! The $7K projector is capable of projecting DVD or Blue Ray. The last projector was unable to do Blue Ray. The clarity and precision is MUCH, MUCH better; what you would expect of a Turkey Creek, or Oak Ridge movie projector. Darren York says the colors are stunning!

Photos from Saturday night's awesome 3-in-1 concert have been posted on the Princess Blog!
King Henry VIII threw out the first pitch at the girls softball game this morning, at Flour Mill Flats. The King's entourage cheered on as Mayor Chris Mason caught the King's fast pitch barehanded!
The King and his talented court will be at the Tennessee Medieval Faire grounds this Saturday and Sunday. It's last time to see them until next year!
After the fair, check out The Kentucky Headhunters at the Princess Theatre!
Yes, it was a touch damp Saturday, and I spent an hour under a huge cedar tree; snapping away at the jousting knights. However, it was rewarding and held so much promise for the Sunday show, 2nd day of the Grand Opening of the Tennessee Medieval Faire, and the future of the faire site in general.

The 2nd Annual Multi-County Talent Show was a wonderful experience, and proved again this year that there is talent in the youth of this area! As Jason Benjamin expressed it, "I came here expecting the 'normal', 'run of the mill' small-town talent show, but I was blown away!"
He was right too. The talent show at the Princess Theatre in Harriman, TN never fails to amaze those in attendance. This area is full of talent just begging for a place to express it, and the Princess is just the place to do that!
Read and see more photos HERE!
Please come out and support our talented area children. The show is only $5 and the proceeds benefit the Princess Theatre Foundation. We need lots of things to make the Princess even better!
Show starts at 6PM and tickets available at the door!
