A Regal yet ‘Freaky’ week in, near Town

October 31, 2019 by Alan Sloan

Movie heartthrob Dennis Quaid, starring as World War II hero Vice Adm. William “Bull” Halsey in the new movie “Midway,” was less than a half-mile from the Town named in honor of the first admiral of the U.S. Navy, Adm. James David Glasgow Farragut, while on hand at Regal Pinnacle ScreenX, 4DX, IMAX & RPX in Turkey Creek Tuesday evening, Oct. 22.

The internationally known actor did numerous “selfies” with fans prior to the benefit screening of the film, as these Farragut area fans were the first worldwide to see “Midway.”

Town of Farragut hosted its annual Freaky Friday Fright Nite Oct. 25 at Mayor Bob Leonard Park. Despite a steady rain, it didn’t dampen the spirits of hundreds.
