 The 2012 Dogwood Arts House and Garden Show, presented by homemarketnow.com, will showcase more than 200 commercial exhibits featuring innovative home and garden products. Professionals will be on-hand providing ideas and assistance. Tennessee's largest house and garden show inspires attendees to shop and save on the newest innovative home and garden products and services for indoor and outdoor design. Dogwood Arts is excited to showcase three of its most exciting features: the Green Living Pavilion, a Cooking School, and the second annual fundraising raffle. The Green Pavilion is a sustainability initiative that emphasizes energy efficiency and conservation. Green Living vendors will educate attendees about new energy-efficient technologies, products and services, while providing resources focused on greener and cleaner homes, gardens, and overall lifestyles. A Cooking School, sponsored by locally-owned-and-operated, Avanti Savoia, will be providing cooking demonstrations throughout the weekend. Visitors who participate in the second annual fundraising raffle will have the opportunity to win valuable house and garden products provided by vendors, including a John Deere tractor from Ritchie Tractor, a children's playset provided by FunMakers, and a GO-GO Elite Traveler Plus Scooter from Senior Safe Solutions of TN. Celebrity speakers will make entertaining appearances, including home improvement expert Jay Baker, sponsored by ACME Block and Brick, who will present "Outdoor Living." Parker Andes, Biltmore Chief Horticulturist, will present "The Biltmore Estate Landscape and Gardens: Planning and Planting, 1895 through 2012," and Martha McClellan of the Knoxville Garden Club will delight attendees with her floral presentation, "Fashion Flowers: Hats!" Accomplished interior designer Moll Anderson, fashion designer Julie Baker, and CEO of Low Country Luxe, Natalie Evans, will delight and enlighten audiences. The 2012 House and Garden Show will feature multiple exhibits sure to spark the imaginations of home and garden enthusiasts. Attendees can lose themselves in the Grand Gardens, a showcase of more than 10,000 square feet of landscapes constructed by the region's top designers, and find themselves inspired by interior designers showcasing innovations for the home. The Flower Markets will offer virtually everything colorful and green that can brighten a garden. Artisans in Action create artwork on the show floor that opens a window into their fascinating techniques, and the How-To Stage will present twelve do-it-yourself shows throughout the weekend. The House and Garden Show is definitely your ticket to spring! Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors (over 65), and $5 for youth (6-12 years old). Children under 5 are admitted free.

The Knoxville Community Band will give a free Christmas concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, December 11, in the auditorium at the Knoxville Convention Center.
Music will include all the traditional favorites - "Jingle Bells," "Good King Wenceslas," "Silent Night" and "O Come All Ye Faithful" as well as some surprising arrangements of other familiar Christmas songs. "Christmas Music for Winds" is a symphonic scenario combining traditional carols and non-secular familiar songs. "Babes in Toyland" is from the Walt Disney motion picture based on Victor Herbert's operetta. And "A Canadian Brass Christmas Suite," adapted for band by Calvin Custer, is a selection of Christmas songs from the repertoire of the world famous brass quintet. The Knoxville Community Band is comprised of instrumentalists in the community who like to play, and most have been playing since grammar school. Some players are band directors who like to take time out from their own bands to keep in practice on their major instruments, and others are professionals in the community who learned to play in school and don't want to lose their expertise. All are volunteers, and all play because they love music. The band is sponsored by the Knoxville Parks and Recreation Department. The group plays year round at festivals and other special events and performs a series of outdoor concerts during the summer. New members with expertise on any band instruments are welcome. Practices are from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays at Northwest Middle School on Pleasant Ridge Road. |
