It's November!!!

We are one step closer to Christmas, wrapping up October with an action packed weekend. There was so much to do and not enough time to get it all done! On Friday, Oct. 29th, Pathways Church had their ribbon cutting for their new section for the youth called "The Hangar." Quite a bit of the community turned out to offer their support including two announcers from 105.5 FM. There was amazing fellowship and the passion the church has for their youth is unreal. They welcome everyone in as family. To learn more about the church please call (865)428-6312.

On both Friday and Saturday, Walden's Landing had live music. The bands were great and the shoppers enjoyed them immensely as they were walking about and standing in line for tickets at the new Forge Cinema. There were workers sifting through the crowds handing out samples of free, delicious yogurt from Tutti Frutti's and spirits were high. Families were laughing and playing at Firehouse Golf. Sunday provided children of all ages bouncing around in various costumes from store to store to receive goodies. It was a heartwarming experience.

Friday night was McClaren's 2nd Annual Halloween Bash. It was heavy on the fun with just a hint of scary:) The creativity with the costumes was unparalleled. There was, as always, food served to perfection, dancing, and a costume contest. They even played scary movies in the background. Where else can you see a surfer and a witch sit down to eat?

Well since it's November, there are some "must's" that you have to keep an eye out for: the shows change to their Christmas productions (totally rad), Winterfest Kick Off in Sevierville (Nov. 8), Pigeon Forge (Nov. 9), and in Gatlinburg (Nov. 10), and the Chili Cook Off (Nov. 10.) These are special not only to the locals but to our honored guests to the area as well. So come on out and join the fun!!!!
