Cove Creek Resorts Wine and Cheese and Covered Dish Social

Our Wine and Cheese and Covered Dish Social had a long name but it didn't seem to confuse all that attended.  We met in the Cherokee Room at the welcome center and were afforded a great view of the storms rolling in.  Everyone had a great time and we are really looking forward to the next gathering.  July 3rd we will hold a cookout for the guests with hot dogs, hamburgers and s'mores.  Not to mention a great possibility of a little fireworks show! 

That's Pat and Andrea and Libby

Mingling and lots of food

Exciting Times for the Wears Valley Area Chamber

The Chamber held a marketing event last week here at Cove Creek and thanks to large efforts from Sharon Hazard (Imagine it! Embroidery) it was a great success.  All Chamber mambers brought a promotional gift that was placed in a goodie bag so each business has a little something to remember each other by.  Each Chamber member also recieved a business card holder that holds each members business cards, so they are easliy at hand to reference and referr to. 
The guest speaker was Drew Bowman of Best Dressed Media who has built the new site for the Chamber, and he did a phenominal job with a very refined site that reflects our Valley well (click here). 

Thank you to all who attended and we sure missed those who couldn't make it!

Wears Valley is home to an amazing story....

The Wears Valley Business Association met Tuesday at the Wears Valley Ranch.  Myself and several others voiced that we had never been on the property but knew a little about them.  Obviously very little.  It's an amazing place with an amazing story.  To read the story click here.  And their story had been on WBIR which we were able to view as Brian McDonnell presented it to the group.  The Ranch operates on donations from individuals, churches and foundations.  Brian stated that several times they have wondered how they would pay the electric bill, but somehow some way God has always provided.   It's an amazing place with an amazing story and of course, amazing people.  Be sure to visit the family at Wears Valley Ranch and see the work they do and don't forget to make a donation!

The Pool is OPEN!!!!

The pool was opened early this year, we had it ready mid-May.  And we had several people using it then!  But then Memorial Day brought us some seriously warm weather and now we see guests enjoying it everyday.

A Big Welcome to Our Neighbors

We have a new jewel in our crown here in Wears Valley!  Old Smokies Produce has moved in to the Big Red Barn on the property just in front of Cove Creek Resort.  Owner John Marzucco and his right hand man Jose have been working hard the past few weeks to get situated and ready for the season.  Fresh watermellon, Grainger County tomatoes, cucmbers, yellow and green squash, corn, and more!  Be sure to come by and visit John and meet the Valley's newest member.  Right beside Old Smokies is McGill and Sons Pony Rides with some super cute goats and miniature ponies.  Alvin McGill is a lifelong resident that has been offering pony rides here in the Valley for a few years now.  The kids can have fun while you get fresh produce for dinner! 

It has been great for the guests that come to Cove Creek.  We have had several guests enjoying a watermellon by the pool.
