Happy Labor Day Weekend Knoxville Families!

I hope this finds you doing well. Excitement is in the air as UT Football season has arrived and there was a sea of Orange all over K-Town today as fans everywhere were grinning ear to ear in anticipation of the new season! I was over at Living East Tennessee today (WATE6/ABC News) and was on set with a few Vols football players while filming a fun Art segment on Football inspired crafts you can make with your kids! If you need some fun ideas for an upcoming tailgate party or if you have some little football fans in your home, be sure to check out the segment here! 

There is so much fun stuff happening in Knoxville that you won't want to miss this week. Featured are the top 5 events from each day, and for more family fun you can check out our full daily/weekly calendar here for all the inside scoop of what is happening in Knoxville.
