Greetings to our Friends of the Bear!
We have a great August ahead of us. Here at the Lodge, we’ve just wrapped up our 3rd annual Appalachian Homecoming weekend and can’t wait for next year’s already. Coming up this month is the Great Smoky Mountain Hot Air Balloon Festival on the 16th at the Townsend Visitor’s Center, which is a lot of fun and can’t be missed. For the Deadheads out there, that may be reading this, be sure to swing by the Peaceful Side Social for our Grateful Dead tribute on August 21st. As always, we’ll also have live music every Friday at PSS and every Saturday at our Peaceful Side Brewery in Maryville.
