Spring Break Family Visitors and Friends

Spring has finally visited the Great Smoky Mountains and with it she brought us a very busy few weeks.  First of all we enjoyed having the K-Town Good Sams Rally last weekend.  Everyone seemed to have a great time and we sure enjoyed their company.  I was told that this rally group is the most sought after to join, and I can see why......they are always smiling and laughing and carrying on.  I sat at my desk and just enjoyed hearing them play cards or picking their guitars.  We welcome you all back ANY time!!!





Then a few days later we hosted our Wears Valley Chamber meetings.  At the main meeting on Thursday evening we had a guest speaker, Jim McGill who is the founder of the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce who hosts the Bloomin' Bluegrass & Barbeque on May 20th and 21st.  (Eating and Entertainment for all ages)






Our own Wears Valley Chamber of Commerce hosts Oktoberfest yearly.  This year the dates are October 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.  Be sure to put it on you calendar, it is a full 3 days of entertainment, crafts, music, contests, demonstrations, pony rides and it's free to attend!  Parking is by donation to benefit the Wears Valley Fire Department.  

Stay tuned for updates about "Sing your way to a free vacation" updates!!!!
