On July 28th we had our annual happy hour at Blue Moon Waterfront Grille at Rock Harbor Marina. It's always a great time and we couldn't resist the colorful drinks!

On July 23rd we were at Cheekwood Gallery & Gardens for their Thursday Night Out series. We enjoyed music from Big Shoes as well as the massive model train set they had winding throughout the gardens.

Our July Gastronomic Gallivant was at Butcher & Bee in Historic Edgefield. Our reservation filled up quickly and a wonderful (and delicious!) time was had by all. These Gallivants typically fill up quickly so make sure to sign up for the next one if you're interested.

On July 18th we took our kayaks to the base of Burgess Falls, one of the truly unique waterfalls in the area. It was a great way to beat the summer heat!

On March 21st we visited Leiper's Fork Distillery, learned how their products are made and indulged in some samples! More pictures are in the Photo Gallery.

Our final trip of the 2025-26 ski season was to Snowmass where we enjoyed beautiful bluebird skies and the gorgeous scenery including the Maroon Bells.

Our March meeting was at McNamara's in Donelson where our members shared all the fun things that happened on the Steamboat and Telluride trips. As a bonus we got to listen to some live Irish music!
