Great Life RE Weekend To Do List, Oct 27-29
It's Halloween Weekend! We have picked some fun things to do, a non-Halloween activity, and even a yummy recipe to get rid of all those pumpkin seeds!
Do: Spooktacular Extravaganza
When: Friday, October 27th, 5-8pm
Where: Downtown Maryville
Downtown W. Broadway Avenue will be closed from 4:45 – 8:30 p.m. from Boyd Thomas Clothing to CBBC Bank. Activities will include trick-or-treating, a carnival games area, a pumpkin contest for youth and adults, a dog costume contest, and a costume dance party for families! General activities are open from 5 - 8 pm, but a dance party at the Capitol Theater will be open until 9 pm. Most activities are free except for the $5 dog costume contest and the $2 dance party at the Capitol Theater. For more information on the event, visit http://www.parksrec.com/halloween.html.
Eat: Pumpkin Seed Recipe
Pumpkin Energy Bites
INGREDIENTS:
- 8 oz. (about 1 packed cup) chopped dates
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds or flax seeds
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats (dry, not cooked)
- 1 cup toasted coconut flakes
- 1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
DIRECTIONS:
Combine the dates, honey, pumpkin puree, chia (or flax) seeds, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt in a food processor, and pulse until smooth and combined.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, and stir in the oats, coconut flakes and pumpkin seeds until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Once the mixture is cool (and easier to work with), use a spoon or cookie scoop to shape it into your desired size of energy balls. (Mine were about 1-inch in diameter.) Alternately, you can line a small baking pan with parchment paper, and press the mixture evenly into the pan, let it cool, and then cut into bars.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (Storing them in the refrigerator especially helps the energy bites hold their shape.)
Try: The World's Largest Dance Party
When: Saturday, October 28th, 5pm
Where: Market Square Knoxville

Located just an hour outside of Knoxville in picturesque Deer Lodge Tennessee. The two properties are on over thirteen, private, wooded, creek-front acres in a gated development. Combined they boast four homes, a bunk-house, a cabana house, a play area, a barn and an RV garage.
