Hey, Foodies!
Broadacres in Powell has a food truck coordinator. Krista Witz on Facebook Broadacres HOA is scheduling food trucks to the ’hood. Looks like we’ve got Full Service BBQ coming on April 14 and Forks on the Road coming April 15, both from 5-7:30. Trucks will be parked at the Cricket Club Pool, 7700 Castlecomb Rd. And everybody is welcome.
Knoxville Food Trucks Circle has a Facebook page with information from several vendors.
Anderson County: Sew Good Mask Project. Volunteers are sewing free, non-medical, cloth face masks for the general public, focusing on those with the greatest need. The Facebook page has patterns, a how-to video for DIY and a place to request masks if you’re in need.
