There’s Plenty of Fun to Be Had! Here are some fun Labor Day weekend activities that you and the family can take advantage of. First, make plans to attend one of the last movie showings for Movies in the Park. Here, you can enjoy a night of cinema fun by bringing some lawn chairs and a blanket and chilling on the lawn of the Ijams Nature Center. While food trucks will be on hand to serve your family at the event, consider packing your own healthy picnic and popcorn for the Sept. 1 showing of Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Second, if you haven’t taken the kids out to the ballpark this year, time is running out! Labor Day weekend is the perfect opportunity as the Tennessee Smokies take on the Jackson Generals. Games will be held Thursday through Saturday at 7 p.m., Sunday at 5:30 p.m. and Monday at noon. The last suggested activity isn’t open for Labor Day, but it’s a big one! Did you know that as of this year, the Tennessee Valley Fair will be celebrating 98 years of family fun? The fair is dedicated to showcasing east Tennessee heritage, agriculture and the arts. With all the entertainment, concerts, exciting rides and delicious foods, your family will not want to miss out on this annual celebration!
