The City of Knoxville is getting ready to welcome thousands of guests back to the community as Nationals Week activities start ramping up. Knoxville Chamber of Commerce Director Larissa Van Donselaar says that it’s a key annual event that’s part of the community’s identity. She hopes much of the goodwill that accompanied RAGBRAI will continue through to Nationals this year.

The Chamber has several volunteer opportunities available next week, including monitoring parking lots and taking in guests through the housing program. They’re also registering vendors for the annual Craft and Vendor show downtown. For more information, contact the Chamber at 828-7555.
