“The crew from Knoxville Weekend, along with host Jac B, spent the day on Watts Bar Lake several weeks ago,” said Sam Jones, the Roane Alliance’s Tourism and Marketing Manager, “it was fun to watch them film while Jac learned to practice yoga on a paddleboard for the first time, enjoy a pontoon ride compliments of Bunch Marine with Michael Heidle at the wheel, and then hangout at some of our local marinas to eat and chat.”

The episode will condense a full day spent on Watts Bar Lake to an action-packed 3.5 minutes that will highlight:

• Bunch Marine pontoon boat;
• Kingston City Park, where Krystal Hennager, Roane County SUP Yoga, shows how paddleboard yoga is done;
• Blue Springs Marina and Crow’s Nest Restaurant where lots of great food was enjoyed, as well as an interview with Janet Steidle; and
