Christmas Time is Coming!

Where has this year gone too! It seems like it was just yesterday we were anticipating the first warm days of spring. Now, all the glorious days of summer, and the spectacular days of autumn are drawing to a close. Thanksgiving is next week and the Christmas Craft Shows & Sales are already happening (I enjoyed the Christmas in November in Byrdstown on Nov. 7th. They had many handmade items and other Christmas delights available. There's nothing like Christmas on the Plateau.), but with more to come over the next weeks, along with the parades, carols and other festivities. Christmas on the Mountain is coming on Dec. 4-6 at the Fall Creek Falls State Park. Be sure to check out all the upcoming Christmas activities on our websites: http://www.go2dhl.com/, http://www.go2bsf.com/, and http://www.go2fcf.com/.

Also, the brand new Fall Creek Falls Visitors' Guide for 2010 will be available for download by Thanksgiving. Keep a check on the site and be one of the first to download the new edition! Happy Thanksgiving!

Roller Coaster Yard Sale 2009

The 2009 Roller Coaster Yard Sale is off to a great start. The first day is pretty much over with, but it sounds as if it is going pretty well.

Lisa Richter at Yellow Ribbon Trading Post in Marrowbone, KY shared these pictures with me earlier today. The lovely chest of drawers in the photo - sold for $40. Somebody found a bargain!

She said everyone is having a great time up there. I know the weather has surely been great all around Dale Hollow Lake today. The high was near 70 degrees and the sun was shining brightly. There's a slight chance it might rain a little overnight tonight, but it's supposed to move out quickly. So, it shouldn't "dampen" sales. Saturday is also supposed to be gorgeous! Come on out and enjoy the Roller Coaster Yard Sale as it Rolls Out Across the Dale Hollow Lake region of Tennessee and Kentucky!

Crab Boil at Sunset Marina & Resort Restaurant

The Crab Boil at Sunset Marina Restaurant during the Dale Hollow Lake Poker Run was a blast! They had a happy sold out crowd that feasted upon the fabulous shrimp, crab, clams, and other awesome delicacies. A German lady I met came all the way from the Carolinas just to enjoy the wonderful event. The music was great too! Be sure to check out Sunset's website for their latest events and specials. ...and to take a peak at the view from Sunset Marina through their live webcam.

Welcome to Annie's Travels and Treasures!

Welcome to Annie's Travels and Treasures! My name is Andrea, but just call me "Annie". I love the Cumberland Plateau region of Tennessee and Kentucky where I call home. We are blessed with several distinct areas, but my focus will be on the extended areas of the Dale Hollow Lake, Big South Fork, and Fall Creek Falls regions. I will share, from time to time, the wonderful treasures that I find in my travels throughout the area. I visit with many of the businesses throughout the area on a regular basis during the course of my work day and on weekends. I'll give you the inside scoop on some of the best places to stay, visit and eat. I can't wait to share these with you.
