Dragon Boat Races at Cove on Saturday

Looking for some FREE family entertainment this weekend while enjoying the fresh air? 

The Knoxville Dragon Boat races will be held this Saturday at the Cove from 8am - 4pm.  The event is free (unless you've registered to be IN the boat races), and there will be children's activities, music, and various food vendors.  

More details: Dragon Boat Festival 

Also, don't forget to go to any Knox Public Library to sign your child up to be a listener or reader for the Summer Library Club. Actually, I think you can register online. knoxlib.org

You can read ANY book you choose to your child.  When you have finished the reading log, your child gets a little "reward" and a coupon book with lots of fun things to do around town... including (but not limited to) coupons for free ice-cream, Knox Zoo, Oakridge Children's Museum, and YMCA day pass. 

(And Happy Birthday (yesterday), to CY!!!  Hope it was wonderful and that you are getting excited about welcoming #3!)

Kids Summer Movies at Regal- $1

So, yesterday, my three year old son asked me, "Mama, me driving you nuts?" YES!!!!

Well, thanks to Regal Cinemas, we can take our kiddos to the movies for only ONE BUCK on Tuesdays and Wednesday to see select kid movies.  (Schedule: Summer Movie Express) It is a great way to introduce little ones to the movie theater for the first time, and if you or your kid can't make it through the whole movie, feel free to come and go, it's only $1 per person!  Snacks are not at a discounted price, but we usually just take a couple kid snacks in our purse.  Shhh!


Doors open at 9:30am and both kid movie options start showing at 10am.  (There are always two movie options and all are either PG or G.)

Hope to see you there!

FYI: Regals participating are the one at the West Town Mall, Turkey Creek, and the one near East Town Mall.  Downtown West does NOT participate, but you may want to check with your local theater before you go.
