Here's my Information page (http://www.renaissancefairepictorial.com/tnren.html) for the Ette Invasion of the previous years. It lists local campgrounds, hotels, and dinning. It has links for gas prices and road conditions.
edit changed link info is updated and moved to the main page.
If you're coming thru Knoxville
I-40/James White Parkway/Hall of Fame Drive
A SmartFix Project
SmartFIX40 I-40 Closure Information:
On May 1, 2008, a short section of Interstate 40 between James White Parkway (exit 388A) and Hall of Fame Drive (exit 389) was closed for reconstruction.
Local traffic will continue to use James White Parkway (exit 388A) and Hall of Fame Drive (exit 389) to access the downtown area, the South Knoxville Bridge and Neyland Drive. Traffic that normally passes through downtown on I-40 should use I-640 or I-275 to bypass the closure. The closure will last for approximately 14 months.
Northbound I-75 motorists traveling into Knoxville from Chattanooga are encouraged to continue on I-40 toward downtown, then use the newly improved I-275 northbound. By using I-275, northbound I-75 motorists will avoid potential long delays on I-640.
