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: Scruffy's Grand Opening

When: Friday, June 5th at 11am-7pm
Where: 1015 N Broadway St. Knoxville 

Scruffy's Cafe is the newest, best place in town. They are more than a cafe, they host adoptable cats, run a hot beverage bar, and support local talent. And they officially open this weekend! Please join them on June 5th for the grand opening. Due to Covid-19 guidelines they will do their best to only host 14 people at a time in the cafe so please make a reservation through the website at www.scruffyscafeknox.com/bookings. Adoptions will start this weekend so come by, enjoy coffee, and meet your fur-ever friends!
