Well...first of all...it's
http://www.riverbendfestival.com! And the finale is Saturday night.
Even if you don't actually go into the festival...I think you should go hang out downtown...there will be LOTS going on down there. Find a good place to watch the fireworks Saturday night. They are fantastic!! (As for eats...if you want BBQ, Sugar's is good and right off the freeway and they have a great view.
http://www.theblueplate.info/site/ is good and one of the employees has a MINI!)
And there is always the
http://www.tnaqua.org. We have a new exhibit with penguins!!
As far as twisties...just run up Lookout Mountain on your way to
http://seerockcity.com and
http://rubyfalls.com.
Good luck and happy motoring. Wave if you see any MINIS! We'll be looking for you!Congratulations!!
