The Lakeway Area has a very busy schedule for Saturday, with several events and shows planned throughout the day.

The fun begins early morning at the Morristown-Hamblen Library. The library will have its Seed Swap set to begin at 9 a.m. in the front meeting room.

This event gives fellow gardeners a chance to mingle, share planting secrets and swap spare seeds with others.

Flowers, vegetables, fruits and herb seeds are all included in this event. Participants are also encouraged to share bulbs or cuttings.

There will be experienced gardeners at the event to answer questions for new gardeners and explain the growing process in East Tennessee.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the Morristown Senior Citizen’s Center will be hosting their Spring Craft Fair.

After the success of their Annual Holiday Bazaar the center wanted to give vendors a chance to continue to sell their items to the community.

There will be more than 20 craft vendors selling a variety of spring themed items, and a bake sale selling different sweet treats. The center will also be selling Sweetwater Valley Cheese and the remainder of its pecans, walnuts, cashews and deluxe mixed nuts.

Buddy’s BBQ Slider Lunch plates will be available to purchase for those who want something more sustaining.

The center will also be raffling different prizes such as Easter baskets and spring wreaths.

The event is sponsored by Gutters and More, and Zach Coffey, State Farm agent.

The Citizen Tribune Home Show will begin at 10 a.m. inside College Square Mall.
