When: Friday, March 15th, 7pm
Where: Hi-Wire Brewing / 2020 Barber St. Knoxville
Grab your green clothes. It's a St. Patrick's Day party, baby!
There will be all three channels going, and this time they're gonna mix it up. They will be covering the board with all sorts of hits from various genres and the request line will be open all night. Three channels of bangers with enough space to get a little weird with it.
Music starts at 7pm. There is limited space and headphones available. This event is open to ages 18+ unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardina. Tickets are $10 for early bird and $15 for general admission.
If you have never experienced Silent Disco before, it's a ton of fun. Once you get in the zone and realize that 1) Nobody can hear you singing off key at the top of your lungs and 2) It doesn't matter anyway because everyone else is singing off key at the top of their lungs as well, all your cares fade away. It's the perfect thing to welcome the best month of the year.
Here's how it works: Three separate DJs play all sorts of music through headphones with a switcher that you control. If you're not feeling what's on one channel, you have two different ones to choose from. It's a choose-you-own-music adventure.

A deceitful dentist, juggling multiple affairs, maintains a facade of being married with children. Fearing exposure, he enlists his brusque nurse to play the role of his "wife." Unexpectedly, she undergoes a transformation, and as the charade unfolds, he discovers himself falling in love with the charming "cactus flower" right under his nose. This Broadway sensation later translated into a triumphant film.
Cactus Flower debuted on Broadway at the Royale Theatre on December 8, 1965. Under the direction of Abe Burrows, the cast featured Lauren Bacall, Barry Nelson, and Brenda Vaccaro. The 1969 film adaptation, helmed by Gene Saks, starred Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman, and Goldie Hawn, who earned the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.

But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.

2024-01-10T06:00:00-07:002024-01-10T18:02:46-07:00Eleanor Cippeltag:greatlifere.com,2012-09-20:8251Ways Your Home Equity Can Help You Reach Your GoalsIf you’ve owned your house for at least a couple of years, there’s something you’re going to want to know more about – and that’s home equity.
If you’re not familiar with that term, Freddie Mac defines it like this:
“. . . your home’s equity is the difference between how much your home is worth and how much you owe on your mortgage.”
That means your equity grows as you pay down your home loan over time and as <a href="https://www.keepingcurrentmatters.com/2023/12/04/experts-project-home-prices-will-rise-over-the-next-5-years/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home values climb</a>. While it’s true <a href="https://www.keepingcurrentmatters.com/2023/11/22/home-prices-still-growing-just-at-a-more-normal-pace/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home prices</a> dipped slightly last year, they <a href="https://www.keepingcurrentmatters.com/2023/11/14/home-prices-keep-climbing-in-most-markets/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rebounded</a> and have been climbing in many areas since then. Here’s why that price growth is good news for you.
In the latest <a href="https://www.corelogic.com/intelligence/homeowner-equity-insights-q3-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Equity Insights Report</a>, Selma Hepp, Chief Economist at CoreLogic, explains:
“With price gains continuing to help homeowners build wealth, equity has reached a new high and regained losses that resulted from declines last year. And while the average U.S. homeowner gained over $20,000 in additional equity compared with the third quarter of 2022, some markets are seeing larger increases as price growth catches up.”
And that figure is just for the last year. To help you really understand how that number can add up over time, the report also says the average homeowner with a mortgage has more than $300,000 in equity. That much equity can have a big impact.
Here are a few examples of how you can put your home equity to work for you.
Buy a Home That Fits Your Needs:
Moving to a larger home makes sense if your current space is no longer sufficient for your needs.
Downsizing can be beneficial if you have too much space and want a more manageable property.
Using equity for a down payment on a new home aligns with your changing lifestyle.
Reinvest in Your Current Home:
If you're not ready to move, using home equity to improve your existing property is a wise decision.
Consider projects that offer long-term benefits and increase your home's value.
Consult with a real estate agent for guidance on prioritizing upgrades for maximum return on investment.
Pursue Personal Ambitions:
Home equity can be a valuable resource to pursue personal aspirations.
Responsible use of equity for meaningful purposes like starting a business, funding education, or preparing for retirement can positively impact your life.
Understand Your Options to Avoid Foreclosure:
In challenging financial situations, having a clear understanding of your options is crucial.
Home equity can act as a financial cushion, providing a buffer if you're struggling to make mortgage payments on time.
It's essential to explore alternative solutions and potentially tap into your equity to avoid foreclosure.
Bottom Line
Leveraging home equity requires careful consideration and planning. Whether it's for improving your living situation, investing in personal goals, or managing financial difficulties, understanding the potential uses of home equity can help you make informed decisions that align with your current and future needs. If you want to know how much equity you have in your home, connect with a local real estate agent. They can do a professional equity assessment report on how much you’ve built up over time and talk you through how you can use it to help you reach your goals

When: December 7th - December 23rd, Various Times
Where: Old City Performing Arts Center / 111 State St. Knoxville
It's a Wonderful Life is based on the story, The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren Stern. Adapted by Joe Landry.
George Bailey dreams of going to college and traveling the world. But after he sends his younger brother to college and stays at home to manage the family business, his life begins to feel crushingly ordinary. One Christmas Eve, bruised by quiet desperation and unable to recognize himself, George reaches his breaking point. Would the world be better off without him?
Many audiences know this story as the classic film It's A Wonderful Life. With live foley and a skilled ensemble of actors, River & Rail presents a radio adaptation by Joe Landry as a nod to the film's source: a short story by Philip Van Doren Stern which was privately printed as a Christmas card and distributed to the author's friends in 1943.
This play is a Christmas card to Knoxville: a show about the power of community, the sacrifices we make for those we love, and the true spirit of Christmas.

Here are 7 tips for hosting a holiday with no-stress (ok, maybe low-stress)....
Plan, Plan, and Plan some more! Write out a timeline of all the tasks that need to be done. Work backwards if you can and delegate jobs other people can do.
Take inventory of your serveware. Make sure you have enough platters and bowls for serving so you aren't scrambling at the last minute.
Label your serving pieces beforehand. This will make things much quicker and easier when the day is crazy and you are trying to get the food out.
Make sure you have the essential kitchen supplies. Take inventory of the things you are going to need for the big day - whisks, potato masher, cutting boards, knives, etc.
Cook and bake ahead as much as possible. If there are things you can prep and cook ahead of time then do it! Some things can be assembled days ahead. Anything that can be made ahead, should be.
Buy some little items that help a lot! There may be little appliances and gadgets that can make your day go smoother. Use crockpots to keep things warm. You can use a collapsible oven rack to allow for more room in the oven.
Accept help when offered. You may want to turn away offers of help, but accept the help. Also, allow people to bring a dish or two so you don't have to do it alone.

Understanding the dynamics of the market and leveraging this situation can help you make informed decisions to sell your home effectively. Here are some key takeaways to consider based on the current inventory situation:
High Demand, Low Supply: The imbalance between the number of buyers in the market and the limited supply of homes for sale makes your property more desirable and sought after.
Faster Sales and Multiple Offers: With fewer options available, well-priced homes have the potential to sell quickly and attract multiple offers from motivated buyers.
Market Perks for Sellers: The current market conditions offer advantages for sellers, such as faster sales and competitive offers, creating a favorable environment to secure a profitable deal.
Collaborate with a Trusted Agent: Working with a knowledgeable and experienced local real estate agent can help you navigate the market complexities, set the right price, and effectively market your property to attract potential buyers.
Optimize Listing Price: Setting an appropriate listing price based on the current market conditions and your home's unique features can significantly increase your chances of attracting interested buyers and securing a successful sale.
Highlight Unique Selling Points: Emphasize the distinctive features and benefits of your home to make it stand out in the limited inventory. Showcase any upgrades, renovations, or desirable amenities that can attract potential buyers.
Act Promptly: Given the heightened demand, being proactive and responsive in the selling process can help you capitalize on the current market conditions and secure a favorable deal within a relatively short period.

It's important to carefully consider the challenges and potential pitfalls that can come with selling your house as a For Sale by Owner (FSBO). The below key areas are where the expertise of a real estate agent can be invaluable. Here's a breakdown of the key considerations:
Pricing your house right: Setting the appropriate price for your home is crucial to attract potential buyers. Real estate agents possess the necessary experience and knowledge of the market to help you price your home correctly, preventing it from being overpriced or undervalued.
Marketing expertise: In today's digital age, effective online marketing is vital to reach a wide audience of potential buyers. Real estate agents are skilled in using various online tools and resources to market your property effectively, ensuring it gets the attention it deserves in a competitive market.
Negotiation skills: Selling a house involves various negotiations and interactions with multiple parties. Real estate agents can guide you through this complex process, ensuring that negotiations proceed smoothly and in your best interest. They handle paperwork, communicate with the buyer's agent and other involved parties, and oversee the entire process until closing day.
Considering these points, it's essential to weigh the potential benefits of working with a professional real estate agent against the challenges and time commitment involved in selling a house on your own. By enlisting the help of a knowledgeable agent, you can navigate the complexities of the real estate market more effectively and increase the likelihood of a successful sale.<br /><br />We are experts and we want to be your people!

A Wisconsin Fish Fry is a popular and iconic meal in the state of Wisconsin. It's typically served at various establishments such as small town taverns, old school supper clubs, brewery beer halls, churches, and historic joints. The main components of a Wisconsin Fish Fry include:
Beer Batter Fried Fish: This is typically the centerpiece of the meal. White fish, often perch or cod, is coated in a beer batter and deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. The batter gives the fish a flavorful and crunchy exterior.
Tartar Sauce: Tartar sauce is a creamy condiment made from mayonnaise or aioli mixed with pickles, capers, and various seasonings. It's often served as a dipping sauce for the fried fish.
German-Style Potato Pancakes: These are typically thin, crispy potato pancakes served with sour cream. They are a popular side dish that complements the fried fish.
Coleslaw: Coleslaw is a cold salad made from shredded cabbage and carrots mixed with a creamy dressing. It provides a refreshing contrast to the fried items on the plate.
Rye Bread: Rye bread is often served as a side, and it can be enjoyed with butter or used to make sandwiches with the fish.
The Fish Fry is a social and communal event where people gather to enjoy these delicious dishes. It's a tradition that dates back many years in Wisconsin. Since the Packers take on the Broncos on Sunday Last Days of Autumn thought it was a good time for their Wisconsin Fish Fry to benefit Curesearch.
The Fish Fry will start at approximately 3:00pm and go until 6:00pm. The cost is $20 per person and it is all you can eat.

People have told scary stories since the beginning of time, and the Appalachian HorrorFest, produced by Ravens Vail Podcast, is keeping that tradition alive by providing a platform for storytellers to spin their bloodcurdling tales.
The Appalachian Mountains have been the setting of some of the most unique scary stories ever, most of which no one knows if they are true or just a tale spun to keep the kids in line. If you enjoy listening to a good scary story, this event is for you. It will feel like you’re sitting on the ol’ front porch while your granddad tells scary stories he heard from his grandad. The storytellers will entertain you with tales from around the world and close to home. Gather up your friends and family, slow down, turn off the phone, and spend an evening listening to the spooky stories from world-class tellers.
Only individuals 18 years of age and older may attend this event.

Skilled real estate agents can be a valuable resource when it comes to buying a new construction home. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons why you should use a licensed Realtor® can make all the difference.
<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/1011/image/newconstruction.png" width="600" height="300" />
Local Area and Market Knowledge: Real estate agents are well-informed about the local area, including emerging communities and upcoming developments. They can provide insights into how the neighborhood might evolve and whether there are any factors that could impact your decision, such as potential construction projects nearby.
Construction Quality and Builder Reputation: Agents have the expertise to evaluate the construction quality of different builders and their reputation in the industry. This knowledge helps you make informed decisions about which builders are known for delivering quality homes and excellent customer satisfaction.
Assistance with Customization and Upgrades: One of the main advantages of purchasing a new construction home is the ability to customize it to your preferences. An agent can guide you through the customization process and offer advice on which upgrades are likely to increase the home's long-term value.
Understanding Builder Contracts and Negotiations: Builder contracts can be intricate and distinct from traditional home purchase agreements. Real estate agents are familiar with these contracts and can help you comprehend the terms and conditions. They also possess negotiation skills that can be advantageous in securing better deals, upgrades, or incentives from the builder.
In summary, a skilled real estate agent can provide a range of benefits when buying a new construction home, including local market knowledge, insight into builder reputation, assistance with customization, and expertise in navigating complex contracts and negotiations. Their guidance can help you make informed decisions and ensure a smoother home buying experience.

Where: Sequoyah Birthplace Museum / 576 Highway 360, Vonore
The Sequoyah Birthplace Museum in Vonore will observe Sequoyah Remembrance Day with free admission to the museum. There will be printing press and blacksmith demonstrations along with other things.
Sequoyah was one of the most influential figures in Cherokee history. He created the Cherokee Syllabary, a written form of the Cherokee language. The syllabary allowed literacy and printing to flourish in the Cherokee Nation in the early 19th century and remains in use today.
The Sequoyah Birthplace Museum serves as a primary historical resource on the legacy of Sequoyah as a history of Cherokee homelands in his lifetime. They are rooted in Tennessee, and tied directly to Sequoyah – his achievements with the Cherokees and humankind as a whole.
Through their location, in Vonore, TN, they are tied to the local history of our area and provide not only high-quality museum displays, but also geographical artifacts from another time that are essential to telling the story of Sequoyah and the Cherokees.

Where: 7480 Rutledge Pike, Rutledge
The Grainger County Tomato Festival was organized in 1992 to promote our world famous Grainger County Tomatoes. The mission is to promote all Grainger County agricultural products, specifically the Grainger County Tomato, and to promote the many local artists, authors, talent, and craftsmen we have in our area. Over the years they have added a number of special events making the festival one of the largest free festivals in East Tennessee and has been named by Parade magazine as one of the top ten free festivals in the USA.
There is a living history section where people are dressed in period clothing exhibiting what life was like during the Revolutionary War. There are vendors in this area as well selling handmade items like leather goods, wooden toys, and iron tools. These craftsmen are demonstrating their craft right there on the festival grounds, and they love to share their knowledge. This is an educational opportunity for the entire family.<br /><br />Another crowd favorite is the tractor and engine exhibit and its not just for the guys. The ladies are included thanks to the pink tractors. The folks that own these wonderful machines are right there with them and love to talk about all that is involved with restoration and use.<br /><br />There will be several misting tents scattered around the festival grounds that cool the air by about 15 degrees. They do welcome dogs and you can find many water stations for your pups to get a drink to cool off. It is July and it will be hot so please keep that in mind when you bring your pets out for a day of festivities.<br /><br />The Tomato Wars is so popular that they had to add an extra day to accommodate all the sign ups, which is a great thing because it's a fundraiser for Yoke.
The Grainger County Opry will take place on Friday, July 21st, 6:30pm-9pm. The admission is free and the event will take place in the Middle School Gym.

In And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie’s play based on one of her most famous novels, ten unlikely strangers are summoned to a beautiful seaside home on a remote island. All that these guests have in common are wicked pasts they’re unwilling to reveal and secrets that will seal their fates. For each has been marked for death as soon as they set foot on Soldier Island. As the weather turns bad and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins. One by one, they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme. But who is the mysterious Mr. Owen and can you figure out whodunnit before the last victim falls?<br /><br />Fans of Agatha Christie, Knives Out, White Lotus, and any BBC mystery program will love this murder mystery set in pre-WWII England, when etiquette and manners begin to falter as soon as the violence starts. The Theatre Knoxville Downtown production, directed by Christina Scott Sayer, features a wealth of local acting talent, including many familiar faces from the local Knoxville theatre community, as well as some rising stars.
