The oldest garden fair in the region, the Exchange Place Spring Garden Fair will feature thousands of plants for sale - perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs - with the emphasis on natives, herbs and heirlooms along with garden-related arts and crafts. Visitors will see heritage breeds of animals and demonstrations of traditional crafts and springtime activities on a mid-nineteenth century farmstead, such as sheep shearing, spinning, weaving, butter churning, broom making, corn shuck doll making and blacksmithing. Children's activities abound with opportunities to make nature crafts, weave a basket and learn gardening skills. Dancing around the Maypole will be on Saturday at 2 p.m. and on Sunday at 3 p.m. Enjoy baked goods and other food on site or to take home and listen to live music from local artists.

Are you an amateur radio operator? Or perhaps you have always been interested and would like to learn more, now is your chance.

The Northeast Tennessee Radio Community (NETNRC) is holding a Hamfest at the Armory in Erwin Tennessee on August 29th between 8am and 1pm. Whether you are a licensed HAM, talk on GMRS, hang out on citizen band, or are just curious, you are welcome.

There will be vendors set up, tailgating, food, and plenty of opportunities to socialize and learn more about this fun and exciting hobby. Admission is $10 per person and there will be drawings for door prizes.

We are a newly formed community of radio operators interested in promoting radio communications of all kinds and helping the community learn more about amateur radio.
