The past year has been difficult with many of us staying at home and socially distancing. On the one hand, we were able to catch up on rest, spend time with our households, and focus on catching up on work. But now it’s safe to say we’re all a little stir crazy. With many of us seeking out fun and creative ways to socially distance, the Knoxville Visitors Center has put together some fun products for you to enjoy while staying home.
