Weekend To Do List - Socially Distant Edition

Each week we bring you the Great Life RE Weekend To Do List. We don't want to stop now! As our counties and state start opening back up many are still staying home and being cautious. Step by step we will get back to "normal," but while we wait, we want to bring you plenty of great things to do. It's easy to go stir-crazy at home, but thankfully there are a lot of ways to stay active and safe while you're practicing social distancing. 

So let's try another week of the Great Life RE Weekend To Do List: Social Distancing Edition! 

Do: Shop Hickory Cove Orchards at the Knoxville Farmers Market

Market Square Farmer's Market is not opening for now, BUT they do have a market at the Mary Costa Plaza. Hickory Cove Orchards will be there again on Saturday. Pre-order on their website for curbside pickup. For the new location and additional information on the market, go to https://nourishknoxville.org/. 

Family owned orchards with USDA organically certified apple, pear, and blueberry orchards, a bee yard, pasture raised chickens and rabbits. Their products include: USDA organically Certified apple, pear and blueberry orchards, honey, pastured chicken eggs, fruit jams, jellies and bread.

Eat: Cruisin' Cuisine at Orange Hat Brewing

Try: Planet Motion World Dance Fitness

Join Mahadevi Arts every Saturday at 1pm for an uplifting, inspiring dance workout to elevate your heart rate and your mood during this time of isolation. This class is being offered for free during this time when movement is so crucial and funds may be restricted.

Planet Motion is a fun, energizing, and easy to follow work out that incorporates music and dance from Africa, the Middle East, India, South America and around the world! The benefits of dance, needed now more than ever, include increased cardiovascular fitness, weight loss, production of mood elevating "Happy Hormones”, flexibility, strength, stamina, improved brain function, and joyful community involvement!

If you are not experiencing a financial loss at this time, and feel inclined to make a monetary offering, donations are welcome.

Watch and Listen: 360-Degree Dollywood Virtual Rides

When Dollywood isn't open this will have to be the next best thing! Even though there’s not a substitute for experiencing Dollywood in-person you can still take a virtual ride with several on-ride coaster videos that allow you to take a 360-degree adventure right where you are. It’s best-experienced on a device other than a desktop—a device like a smart phone or tablet you can move to “look” around as you ride. Can you almost feel that Smoky Mountain wind in your face??

If virtual roller coasters aren't your thing they still have a variety of entertainment and info on their blog including manicure tips from their spa, a digital Dollywood puzzle, and a tour of Craftsman's Valley!
