Exciting Weekend Ahead in Knoxville: Drug Take Back Day, Titans Giveaway, and Harvest Fest Celebrations!

Exciting Weekend in Knoxville: Drug Take Back, Fun Festivals, and More!

Hello, Knoxville! It looks like we have quite an exciting weekend ahead of us, and plenty of opportunities to give back to our community, have some fun, and celebrate the colors of fall! This weekend is packed with events that are sure to get everyone involved—so gather your friends and family and make some plans!

Medication Take Back Day: Dispose of Unused Medications

First up, we have the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This important event is happening on Saturday, October 26, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Food City located on Mountain Grove Drive in Knoxville. In coordination with the Knoxville Police Department and the Metro Drug Coalition, this is a wonderful opportunity for anyone with unused or unwanted medications lying around. Simply bring them to the event, and you can drop them off—no questions asked!

You might be wondering why this is so important. Properly disposing of medications helps to keep our community safe and protects our environment. Medications that are thrown away in the trash or flushed down the sink can lead to pollution and potential health risks. So, if you have some old prescriptions or over-the-counter medications that you no longer need, be sure to take advantage of this free service!

Win the Ultimate Titans Experience!

Now, how about a little excitement on the sports front? Our friends at G Media are running an amazing giveaway! If you wish for a fun day out, imagine yourself and your companions watching the Tennessee Titans live as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on December 8th—in style! The **Titans Suite Experience** includes four suite tickets at Titans Stadium! Not only will you get to enjoy the game, but you’ll do it in a luxury setting! Don’t forget to listen in and take your chance at winning this incredible opportunity!

Fall Festivities: Celebrate at Harvest Fest

As we step into the vibrant colors of fall, be sure to mark your calendar for Sunday, October 27, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., when the Farragut Business Alliance will host a sensational Harvest Fest! This event is a celebration of all things autumn, featuring a delightful mix of retail booths, food and beverage vendors, and fun entertainment.

Don’t forget to participate in the Halloween costume contest—it’s a great way to show off your spooky (or cute!) costumes! And the best part? It’s totally free to join in on all the festivities! So, come along, bring your friends, and enjoy the charm of fall with us!

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Community

Lastly, a heartfelt shoutout goes to all the wonderful people in our East Tennessee community. Your outpouring of love and support for neighbors in need has been truly inspiring. If you’ve been wondering where to take your contributions or items for those in need, the community is buzzing with suggestions. We love seeing how everyone is coming together to lend a helping hand to others!

Wrapping Up

This weekend is shaping up to be a fantastic mix of helpful initiatives, thrilling sports experiences, and joyous community gatherings. So, Knoxville, let’s get out there and make the most of it! Whether you’re cleaning out your medicine cabinet, hoping to win a fabulous football experience, or celebrating the season at Harvest Fest, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Have a great weekend!
