We, Shawn and Elizabeth Bean, founded Great Southern Promotions, LLC as a sister company to our already established business, Great Southern Gun & Knife Shows, LLC. After spending close to 10 years promoting gun and knife shows, we wanted to branch out and do other types of special events, to bring community engagement right here in our own East Tennessee.

We strive to bring events of the highest quality for both our vendors and members of the public. We believe in growing communities by hosting informative, educational, and family-friendly events.

We have lived in East Tennessee for over 20 years. We enjoy training mixed martial arts and traveling. We are active members in our local church, and we spend most of our free time cheering on our children in their chosen sports and hobbies.
