With Mind Yer P’s & Q’s making Oktoberfest a three-day event, scores of families each day found time between the raindrops to enjoy laughs, great food and beverages and, for the adults, a variety of musical entertainment — while the children enjoyed inflatable slides and a bounce house — on the front grounds of
Renaissance | Friday through Sunday, Oct. 1-3. An Alzheimer’s Tennessee official was on hand to promote
improved mental health while manning the payment entrance.
Nearby, officials representing Smoky Mountain Dock Dogs got the word out about competitive dock-diving dogs, which has become an annual Southeastern regional competition in Farragut in mid-August. A portion of the proceeds went to both non-profits.
