SipTN Wine Festival
“Join us for Sip TN The Foothills as we showcase Tennessee wines at the Blount County campus of Pellissippi State Community College. Nestled at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, the festival will offer over 100 wines produced right here in Tennessee, utilizing some of the freshest fruit in the South. The festival is planned to be a day of fun. Shop with artisans, enjoy delicious food, and sip Tennessee wine, mead, and hard cider. The proceeds from the event stay local, benefitting Tennessee agriculture, small businesses, and education.” - Tennessee Wines #winefestival #tennessee

LeConte Llamas in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Earlier this week we shared a photo of the llama team delivering supplies to the LeConte Lodge in our beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Since everyone enjoyed the photo, we thought that you might enjoy the video too! The lodge is only accessible by hiking trails, and after a spring drop via a helicopter, the llamas do the work the rest of the season. The waterfall seen in the video & photo is Grotto Falls on the Trillium Gap Trail. The park’s only waterfall where the trail actually leads behind the waterfall. Share with us in the comments below have you ever stated the lodge? Or have you ever passed the llamas while on the trail? #smokymountains #leconte #greatsmokymountains #gatlinburg #gatlinburgtn
