Books and Blooms 2010 - Apples, Apples Everywhere: Books and Blooms will start May 20th through October 28th. We will meet every Thursday morning at 10:30. We will have Books and Blooms rain or shine – if the weather is nice we will be outside in the outdoor classroom; if it is raining we will move inside to a classroom. Look for signs directing you to the appropriate spot. Be sure to stop by the garden entrance on your way in to pick up a parking permit to place on your windshield. You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet. Be sure to visit this station each week, and by the end of the series, your child will have their very own alphabet garden book! You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August. Please check in with our Books and Blooms volunteers upon arrival at the UT Gardens for your parking pass. Remember, if you received a purple pass last week, we appreciate it if you can re-use it this week! Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy after our story time! To join an email list to receive notices about Books and Blooms, contact Emily Smith at esmith27@utk.edu. As always, Books and Blooms in the UT Gardens is a FREE event for kids of all ages.

Books and Blooms 2010 - Sassy Squirrels: Books and Blooms will start May 20th through October 28th. We will meet every Thursday morning at 10:30. We will have Books and Blooms rain or shine – if the weather is nice we will be outside in the outdoor classroom; if it is raining we will move inside to a classroom. Look for signs directing you to the appropriate spot. Be sure to stop by the garden entrance on your way in to pick up a parking permit to place on your windshield. You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet. Be sure to visit this station each week, and by the end of the series, your child will have their very own alphabet garden book! You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August. Please check in with our Books and Blooms volunteers upon arrival at the UT Gardens for your parking pass. Remember, if you received a purple pass last week, we appreciate it if you can re-use it this week! Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy after our story time! To join an email list to receive notices about Books and Blooms, contact Emily Smith at esmith27@utk.edu. As always, Books and Blooms in the UT Gardens is a FREE event for kids of all ages.

You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet. Be sure to visit this station each week, and by the end of the series, your child will have their very own alphabet garden book! You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August.

Books and Blooms 2010 - Leap n Leaves: Books and Blooms will start May 20th through October 28th. We will meet every Thursday morning at 10:30. We will have Books and Blooms rain or shine – if the weather is nice we will be outside in the outdoor classroom; if it is raining we will move inside to a classroom. Look for signs directing you to the appropriate spot. Be sure to stop by the garden entrance on your way in to pick up a parking permit to place on your windshield. You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet. Be sure to visit this station each week, and by the end of the series, your child will have their very own alphabet garden book! You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August. Please check in with our Books and Blooms volunteers upon arrival at the UT Gardens for your parking pass. Remember, if you received a purple pass last week, we appreciate it if you can re-use it this week! Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy after our story time! To join an email list to receive notices about Books and Blooms, contact Emily Smith at esmith27@utk.edu. As always, Books and Blooms in the UT Gardens is a FREE event for kids of all ages.

2010 Pellissippi State Hot Air Balloon Festival: Glowing balloons, floating balloons. Surfing dogs, talking birds and, well, singing singers. (Hey, give us credit for being on a roll there. We just happen to have one of the coolest lineups of singing singers around.) Our evening balloon glows are a Pellissippi State Hot Air Balloon Festival favorite! Not all balloon festivals feature lighted balloons at night, let alone lighted balloons grouped around a pond, firing up their burners to the beat of music. Definitely stick around for this beautiful display of synchronized music and lights! (Balloon Glow) Tethered balloon rides give you the chance to experience what it's like to fly in a hot air balloon, but without going more than 50 – 60 feet off the ground. Ready to go up, up…but not quite away? Click on Balloon Rides for more information, including times and fees. Returning favorites include the Ultimate Canines, a group of performing dogs, and Einstein, the Knoxville Zoo's very talkative bird. Click on the entertainment icon for a complete schedule of performers and live music. What's new to the Pellissippi State Hot Air Balloon Festival this year? Gotta check out the rest of the site to see it all, but new features include a Kite Flight, children's Book Nook…even a chef. (A cooking chef, naturally.)

The start location will be the corner of Central and Baxter Ave. We’ll tour Oakwood/Lincoln Park and Lonsdale for this year’s route. When we return, the Happy Hollerpalooza festival will be getting under way. Free parking is available at the Knox Central building, 1000 N. Central. As always, all ages and skill levels welcome, and helmets required. There will be some hills, since this is East Tennessee, but we try to limit them, and we don’t leave anyone behind. The route is less than 12 miles (takes a little more than an hour, including a rest stop). More details to come, so check back, or email kelley.segars@knoxtrans.org with questions.

Look for signs directing you to the appropriate spot. Be sure to stop by the garden entrance on your way in to pick up a parking permit to place on your windshield. You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet. Be sure to visit this station each week, and by the end of the series, your child will have their very own alphabet garden book! You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August. Please check in with our Books and Blooms volunteers upon arrival at the UT Gardens for your parking pass. Remember, if you received a purple pass last week, we appreciate it if you can re-use it this week! Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy after our story time!

Look for signs directing you to the appropriate spot. Be sure to stop by the garden entrance on your way in to pick up a parking permit to place on your windshield. You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet. Be sure to visit this station each week, and by the end of the series, your child will have their very own alphabet garden book! You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August. Please check in with our Books and Blooms volunteers upon arrival at the UT Gardens for your parking pass. Remember, if you received a purple pass last week, we appreciate it if you can re-use it this week! Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy after our story time!

Books and Blooms 2010 - Fabulous Fall Veggies: Books and Blooms will start May 20th through October 28th. We will meet every Thursday morning at 10:30. We will have Books and Blooms rain or shine – if the weather is nice we will be outside in the outdoor classroom; if it is raining we will move inside to a classroom. Look for signs directing you to the appropriate spot. Be sure to stop by the garden entrance on your way in to pick up a parking permit to place on your windshield. You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet. Be sure to visit this station each week, and by the end of the series, your child will have their very own alphabet garden book! You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August. Please check in with our Books and Blooms volunteers upon arrival at the UT Gardens for your parking pass. Remember, if you received a purple pass last week, we appreciate it if you can re-use it this week! Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy after our story time! To join an email list to receive notices about Books and Blooms, contact Emily Smith at esmith27@utk.edu. As always, Books and Blooms in the UT Gardens is a FREE event for kids of all ages.
