Town calendar
• Twenty-sixth Annual Freaky Friday Fright Nite takes place from 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 28, at Mayor Bob Leonard Park.
Children ages 12 and under are invited to “trick or treat” on the walking trail while local businesses, community groups and Town of Farragut volunteers hand out treats and provide games with prizes and cookie decorating.
This is a free event, but participants are asked to bring items to benefit the local Ronald McDonald House, which provides a “home away from home” for families with critically ill children being served by area hospitals. Collection stations will be located next to the cookie decorating area off the main parking lot along North Watt Road and next to the entrance from the Harrison Lane parking lot.
Suggested donations are canned beans (black beans, baked beans, pinto beans and kidney beans), cans of tomato sauce, instant mashed potatoes, small salt and pepper sets (disposable), small bottles of spices (Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, etc.), gallon- and quart-size storage bags, parchment paper for baking, canned fruit, canned fruit, pie fillings (cherry, blueberry, apple), regular flavored coffee pods, Jello and applesauce cups, postage stamps, Sharpie markers, packing tape, rolls of Scotch tape, disposable coffee cups and gift cards to Walmart, Target, Food City, Lowe’s, Home Depot and ACE hardware.
Cash also is greatly appreciated. Learn more about the Ronald McDonald House of Knoxville at knoxrmhc.org.
Kona Ice and the Hot Dog Hut will be on location with snacks for purchase. They will accept cash and all major credit cards, but not Apple Pay.
